90-92 Points, Jeb Dunnnuck
“Starting with the base 2019 Vacqueyras, this beauty offers a plump, medium to full-bodied, expansive style loaded with notions of red and blue fruits, peppery herbs, and garrigue. With loads of fruit, a ready-to-go, upfront, sexy style, and a great finish, it should certainly be an outstanding wine and have 7-8 years, if not a decade, of prime drinking.”

「從基酒的2019年瓦克雷拉斯（Vacqueyras）開始，這款美酒展現了飽滿、中等至飽滿的風格，散發著紅色和藍色水果、辛辣香草和岩生植被的香氣。這款酒口感豐富，成熟前衛，性感，收結出色，肯定是一款優秀的葡萄酒，可以陳年7-8年，甚至更長時間。」
