2000 Tardieu-Laurent Costieres de Nimes Costieres de Nimes WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 13.5% Price at time of purchase: $9.95 (Premier Cru) Type: Rhone Principal varietal(s): Southern Rhone blend Preposterously great buy at Premier Cru, this wine has an entrancing nose of frambois, kirsch, and abundant cloves-like spiciness. Great balance and finish, and will probably only get better for the next several years. Worth twice the price. We can only hope Tardieu-Laurent (and Premier Cru!) can hold the price line on wines like this. - HK 2004-08-29 [Back] |
