90-92 Points "Made from vines over 60 years of age, the 2010 Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Displaying outstanding potential, it possesses elegant berry fruit notes intermixed with pepper, sandy, loamy soil, and an undeniable minerality from the limestone soils in which the vines are planted. With deep raspberry and black cherry flavors, medium to full body, sweet tannin and decent acidity, this impressive effort should drink well for 10+ years." Wine Advocate, #197 Oct 2011, Robert Parker
90 Points "A nicely sappy kirsch and blackberry paste feel follows through to a lightly grippy, licorice snap edge to the fruit core. Lingering spice and fruitcake hints mark the finish. Drink now through 2017. 3,750 cases made." Wine Spectator, Feb 29, 2012, James Molesworth
