The 2005 Costieres de Nimes Les Enfants Terribles is a blend of equal parts Mourvedre and Syrah, with 50% kept in tank and 50% in barrel. A super bargain, it possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a bouquet of charcoal, blueberries, mushrooms, and spicy wood. Rich, medium-bodied, pure, and tasty, it should drink nicely for 5-6 years.
This excellent estate in the Costieres de Nimes continues to turn out some superb bargain-priced wines that consumers should seek out for relief from increasingly higher prices as well as the weak dollar. The 2006 red wines all reveal zesty acidity, beautiful pure fruit, perhaps not the structure of the 2005s, but they are more friendly.
