This fine estate in the heart of sunny Provence has consistently impressed me with the quality of its wines. The 1993 Costieres de Nimes Cuvee Prestige (a blend of Syrah and Grenache from 50-year old Grenache vines, 50% aged in new oak casks and 50% aged in tank) is an immensely impressive, full-bodied wine, as well as an outstanding bargain. The rich, pure, peppery, black-raspberry, chocolatey, cassis-scented nose is followed by a wine with fleshy, beautifully concentrated flavors, no hard edges, and a voluptuously rich, long finish. This is a supple, up-front style of red wine that is sure to please consumers who love the sun-drenched red wines of southern France. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
