Château de Nages - Vieilles Vignes 2011

Costières de Nîmes|Red wine

3.9/5 (21 customers)

Rating: Robert Parker 90/100
“The 2011 Costières de Nîmes Vieilles Vignes displays a deep purple color with a delicate nose of white flowers, burnt earth, blueberries, blackberries, and incense. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, supple, and pure, with impressive texture and length, it should be enjoyed within the next 4 to 5 years.” (Wine Advocate Oct. 2012 - Robert Parker)

Review by Mr. FABIEN Q. Posted on January 30, 2019

Tasted in 2017: still very young: powerful aromas, with the same intensity on the palate—well-balanced
