  1. Domaine Tempier Cuvée La Migoua Bandol 2005

    Reddish in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.

    Pretty nose with wild flowers, red fruits, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf, light oak, sweet cherries and spices.

    Medium bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

    Dry on the palate with cherries, cooked plums, oak, tobacco, licorice, chocolates, herbs, spices and earth.

    Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.

    This 20 year old red blend from Bandol is absolutely fantastic. Drinking very nicely right out of the bottle, and feels fresh and engaging.

    This Single Vineyard is elegant and powerful. Complex and nicely balanced.

    A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

    A blend of 55% Mourvedre,
    25% Cinsault, 15% Grenache and 5% Syrah. Aged for 18 months in large French oak barrels.

    14.5% alcohol by volume.

    93 points.

    $200.
