  Stunning example of old Tempier. It has shed all its baby fat but you can tell it was once a dark, tannic and broad shouldered wine. Today it is a brilliant medium ruby color. Still fresh with spicy red fruits on the nose with leather, dried plum and subtle herbs.
  
  A real treat to taste one of these with proper age. While it is drinking beautifully now I'd say drink up.

  Cork was a bit of a challenge but removed without fragmenting into liquid. Dark red. Initially this seemed quite powerful and undeveloped but with air developed complexity. Quite a good match for a Peter Luger steak. Mourvedre ages well - this was cellared since release about 28 years ago!

  Tempier: An outstanding old Migoua. Showed a bit horsey, but drank very well.

  Couleur pâle d'un vieux Bourgogne dont il a par ailleurs la texture et la finesse. Une délicatesse remarquable pour cette appellation. Un vin fin, élégant et savoureux. Seul le nez plutôt animal évoque le mourvèdre et Bandol.
  Superbe

  a Prévost. Robe orange très pâle, au pourtour brunâtre. Très évoluée.
  Nez complexe de sous-bois, avec du cuir et un peu de vieille confiture.
  En bouche, les tanins sont fondus, l'attaque très douce, le vin est fin et élégant, avec une superbe finale qui montre une admirable concentration, longueur et complexité, tout en finesse. Les saveurs de fraises des bois avec des épices et encore un petit coté animal qui est le seul aspect évoquant l'appellation. Quant au reste, on jurerait un vieux Bourgogne, par sa complexité et sa classe. Une magnifique expérience! 93-94 pts
