By far, the finest red Bandol I’ve ever had. This 1988 sang an operetta to the lamb.

Transports you straight to the Provence. Underbrush, garrigue, plums and a hint of sweetness. Perfect steak tartare wine.

Drinking really well but wouldn't cellar further. Herbs, cured meat, cured black olives, seamless and long. Some rustic notes but altogether delicious.

One of Tempiers individual Cuvées La Miguoa. Mid crimson with a slightly Tawny rim. Sooty earthy mineral aromas with a touch of thyme. M plus intensity on the supple delicious palate - Tannins resolving. The La Miguoa has a lesser % of Mourvèdre and more % of Cinsault than the other Tempier Cuvées. Plenty of stuffing to go another 5 to 10 years. In a blind tasting many would pick this as South Australian- coming from a warmer climate. Tasted blind this is where Barb thought it came from.
