Domaine Gassier Fleur de Syrah Costières de Nîmes 2019

The dense purple-colored 2019 Costières de Nîmes Fleur De Syrah gives up a classy nose of blue and black fruits intermixed with lots of peppery herbs and crushed rock-like minerality. It hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness as well as a stacked mid-palate and has loads of fruit and ripe tannins yet stays nicely balanced and even elegant. It’s another pleasure-bent, impeccably made wine from this team that will drink well on release and over the following handful of years. Score – 89-91. (Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com, Oct. 6, 2020)
