2000 vintage. Ancient. Otherworldly. Eternal and undying. The ultimate vampire wine. $101 a bottle resto cost. Picked up a 6-pack and we’ll see how it does. You either get it or you don’t. 7.8.26. — 7 days ago

I used to sell @ChateauMusar to unsuspecting customers at an airport wine bar with a forward thinking mgr.
Snuck it into flights of three samples and then watched as whole glasses were ordered and minds widened.
Now…I’m taken aback at what these beauties command.

Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego

@Daniel Bloom For the pricing of a 25 year old wine that kicks absolute tuckus and blows minds, it’s ridiculously affordable.

Had this again. Label is hint classy. Rustic. Color is lighter with a slight rust to the edge. Smells like rocks in the sun and flint. Berries too. Flavors are juicy, fruity and balanced. Zippy. This is a lighter styled GSM with a classy elegance to it. — 23 days ago

La Migoua Bandol Mourvedre Blend 1995

Doug Powers

9.5

Unlike La Tourtine, this bottle’s cork wouldn’t come out in one piece, on first sip this is more dark-fruited and almost brooding aromatically and on the palate, massive fruit impression, great balance, also a super long, lingering finish, another WOW! While I hesitate to say this, in the old days I would describe this La Miguoa as rough and masculine, and La Tourtine as silky and feminine, but both are truly outstanding. The price tag from WinEx back in the day was still on this bottle, $22.99. — 4 months ago

In my second wine biz job (mid-80s) I sold Tempier for Mosswood Wines, Gerald Asher’s company. It was a hard sell. No one had heard of Bandol at the time. Tempier hadn’t started making the single-plot wines yet. They had a regular bottling and a “Speciale Reserve” or “Reserve Speciale.” I can’t remember. I loved the wines and visited the region in ‘85 with my wine-hating then-girlfriend. The growers we visited were amazed that an American had heard of their region and were super hospitable.

@Tom Casagrande, the “enhanced basic” cuvée back then was “Cuvée Speciale”, not sure when Miguoa and Tourtine started, first vintage I saw was 1985 (and Kermit was the importer back then). I think Cabassou and La Louffe started in 1993 (a GREAT vintage, I still have a fair slug of that vintage for when you and @Dave finally ACTUALLY get on an airplane). By 1995 KLWM’s pricing had driven me to other sources, thus these 1995s from WinEx in the OC!!
