Re-launched in 2006 making it the first new Templeton product in over a decade, this middle-aged bottling has a soft rye nose-feel and aromas of shellac, light spice, dark rye bread and sweet oak. Genteel, well-rounded and slightly oily in the mouth, flavours of apple pie, cinnamon, muddled mint and low-key rye spices complete this soft and very accessible expression.
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
