Château de Nages JT Costières de Nîmes 2012

Possibly even better, the 2012 Costieres De Nimes JT (same blend and elevage as the 2011) offers brilliant purity of fruit, with classic notions of wild herbs, pepper, liquid minerality and ample blackberry-styled fruit. Tight and compact on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness and excellent focus, it should flesh out nicely once bottled and have upward of a decade of total longevity (although there's no reason to hold off that long). Score - 91-93. (Jeb Dunnuck, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2013)
