The classic 2013 Costières de N?mes is more medium-bodied, firm and slightly austere, yet has solid notes of peppery herbs, cedary spice and darker fruits. It has good concentration and is certainly well-made, and I suspect will drink nicely for 4-5 years. The blend for this cuvee is 50% Syrah, the rest is Grenache, Carignan and Mourvèdre.
