September 27, 2022 - 25th of 36, opened an hour, perfect cork and level, slightly odd, fruit partly stripped but not obviously corked, fine structure as ever, nice enough but nevertheless an outlier and well off normal standard. VGI (17)......more normally F+.

February 14, 2021 - 24th of 36, opened 90 minutes, perfect cork and level, this wine remains after 21 years on the upward curve with integration of tannins and fruit continuing apace, silkier, "sweaty saddle" mourvedre notes more prominent, entering peak drinking with scope to improve over next 10 years and hold for 10 thereafter if properly cellared. F+ (18).

May 6, 2020 - Especially when you get to wines that are more than 20 years old, there can be quite a bit of variation. This wine was as beautiful a rendition of Migoua as I can recall. Truffly, earthy nose. Dark plum fruits, silky texture, nuance, complexity, length -- it's all there. Cellared since original release.
