Rating: Robert Parker 90/100
"The 2011 Costières de Nîmes Vieilles Vignes has a dense purple color with a sweet nose of white flowers, scorched earth, blueberry, blackberry and incense. Medium to full-bodied, and supple with purity, texture and impressive length, it should drink well over the next 4-5 years." (Wine Advocate Oct. 2012 - Robert Parker)

Eye

deep garnet, almost black

Nose

very powerful and complex, combining aromas of very ripe fruit (raspberry, blackberry), pepper and oriental spices, with notes of aromatic herbs (garrigue and menthol).

Mouth

Lots of volume and richness on the attack, with a very fine grain of tannin and a very long finish on spices, liquorice and mineral notes.

Tasted in May 2012: still a little lively for a wine of this type. Will surely be a treat if you wait a little.
