Château de Nages VOX 2020

A later release based on 60% Grenache, 30% Carignan, and the balance Syrah that saw plenty of whole clusters in the ferment, the 2020 Costières De Nîmes VOX reveals a medium ruby hue to go with a gorgeous array of ripe black raspberries, wild strawberries, spicy wood, and savory, peppery garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, round, and mouth-filling, it has good richness as well as an overriding roundness and elegance. It's a gorgeous wine and as good as many top Châteauneuf du Pape. Drink bottles over the coming decade. Maturity: 2023-2033. Score - 94.
