“The 2011 Costières de Nîmes Vieilles Vignes displays a deep purple color with a soft nose of white flowers, burnt earth, blueberries, blackberries, and incense. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, supple, and pure, with impressive texture and length, it is best enjoyed within the next 4 to 5 years.” (Wine Advocate, Oct. 2012 – Robert Parker)
