  The first tardieu Laurent I’ve loved. Found most a miss but this is a sweet spot. Juicy balanced dark delicious and not too hot.

  A stunning Vacqueyras!
  Nez intense de fruits mûrs...prune et mûre, de sous-bois, d'écorce, de fines herbes, d'anis...réglisse, de tabac, et de liqueur aux bleuets ! Les tannins sont poussiéreux mais bien intégrés. Fruité, riche, ample, corsé, texturé...umami, structuré et équilibré. Une finale moyenne à longue. Boire d'ici quelques années encore. 93++

  This wine is a beast. Unpleasant out of the bottle with disjointed sweetness and heat, with air it started to knit together. Plum, garrigue, ginger, sandalwood and tar with drying, chalky tannins. Drank well after two hours open. I'm curious to see how this develops.

  This is a 'wow' wine. In a blind tasting of 12 2016s from southern rhone, this was my favourite. Out of the bottle now it is still very primary bubbly red fruit, but after a few hours it shows amazing texture and yummy cinnamon, licorice and raisin. Amazing value. I hope as it softens and ages into more complex characters it will really shine, but i'm no expert.
