Château Mas Neuf - Avec des Si... 2005
Rating: Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
"This wine, made from 100% Syrah, is classified as a Vin de Pays because such a high proportion of Syrah is not permitted in the Costières appellation. Solid and firm, with good tannic structure and intense fruitiness, the wine displays a silky, long finish." (The Great Guide to French Wines 2009 - Bettane & Desseauve)

Deep ruby color
Nose
with notes of dark chocolate and toasted brioche, then, as it opens up, typical aromas of dark fruits (blackberry, blueberry)
Palate
The attack is fresh and full-bodied, with tannins that are present but well-integrated; the finish lingers with notes of fruit, bay leaf, and nutmeg

About the estate:
“Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region, which is still heavily influenced by the cooperative. With a deep attachment to the Costières de Nîmes, he made his home at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs allows him to offer three types of cuvée: Rhône Paradox, focused on the freshness and purity of the fruit; Compostelle, the result of careful selection from old vines, as well as grapes from the best plots. And finally Armonio, born from a collaboration with Louis Mitjavile (Tertre Roteboeuf, in Saint-Emilion, notably).”
