92/100
Robert Parker
"Mainly from the village of Sarrians, this 2016 Vacqueyras is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, fermented with around 60% whole clusters. Powerful and supple, it reveals lush hints of blackberry and chocolate, delicious aromas, through dry spices on a long finish. Drink over the next 4-5 years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker 2018)
