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。」
