The 2008 Costieres de Nimes Les Enfants Terribles is a barrel and cuve-aged equal part blend of Mourvedre and Syrah. From a tough vintage, it exhibits a dark ruby color, copious aromas of tree bark, fresh mushrooms, blueberries, black currants, pepper and dusty, loamy soil undertones. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. This is one of the best run estates in Costieres de Nimes. Owned by the husband and wife team of Nathalie Blanc-Mares and Cyril Mares, with the charming, passionate Nathalie running Mas Carlot and Cyril in charge of the neighboring estate of Mas des Bressades (another high quality/ value producer).
