This can develop a while of course but nothing at all wrong with it right now with some choice southern-inspired thanksgiving leftovers. All about the garrigue and sun baked red fruit at this point, tertiary elements not really showing yet but ample structure to get there

Poured into a decanter several hours prior to service. No formal notes but this was a delicious pairing with traditional cassoulet. Dark bramble fruits, mushrooms, white pepper, earth. The structure is unrelenting and this La Migoua almost comes across young at the legal age of 18. It remains a deep, mysterious and intellectual wine. Drink now with a good amount of air, some great food and plenty of time to ponder. Well cellared examples will continue to drink well past 2030.

The vintage shows through. The ripeness pushes toward baked in the fruit character somewhat, but its pliant nature make it approachable now. Roasted cherry and baked plum, dusty leather, reduction (oxtail), cured game, white pepper, tar, fur. Love some young Migoua 😸

Nice bright red fruit. Firm tannin. Gained length after a little air. Showing a little bitterness that I’m not sure will soften with age.

Steal of a find! Explosive brambly fruit after about an hour. Still young but tannins are getting silky soft. Rustic, savory, sultry and sexy!

Great fruit. Quite bright and translucent but with a good gnarly undertow. Good balance
