Puissant, frais, il est très savoureux avec son fruit mûr et frais, offrant profondeur et fraîcheur, avec beaucoup d’éclat. La finale est longue et d’une belle complexité avec des arômes de garrigue et de confiture de fraise. Un Vacqueyras qui déclasse plusieurs vins de Chateauneuf. Vraiment magnifique. 92-93 pts
Il occupe le haut du panier dans l'appellation avec le Château des Tours, dans un style différent.

Tasted over two days and vis-avis the Gig. from Santa Duc, this is certainly the superior wine, handles the warm vintage well, this is stony, vertical with loads of minerals and a cool fruit. Still young, but very nice to drink nowm, it has setled down and is certainly wine. not juice by now.

Seamless right now - fruit is soft, as are tannins. Great quality for the price. Pop and pour for us.

Decanted for 3 hours, a good idea. Still plenty of structure remaining after that much air, but the balance was very pleasant.

This is a lovely wine that just tastes too much of alcohol. The sharpness of the alcohol clumsily gets in the way of its great fruit and finish.
