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