title: Château Mas Neuf 1998 Prestige des Gibelins Red (Costières de Nîmes)
description: A reserve selection that’s seen some barrel aging, but not too much. The toasty, chocolaty oak is hardly noticeable under a firm wallop of cherry-berry fruit that turns velvety on the palate. Some softly bitter tannins creep in on the finish, letting you know that the best is yet to come. Pick up a few bottles and drink them over the next couple of years.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Prestige des Gibelins
