Score 90/100 · Drink 2019-2025, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Oct 2018
The 2016 Vacqueyras les Cypres spent a year in oak, leaving it with some leather and spice notes, hints of asphalt, black olives and cherry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it's a bit more structured than most from this vintage, yet ripe, offering decent weight, supple tannins, and a nice balance between richness and freshness.

Garrigue, cedary spice, Peking duck, and ample red and black fruits all emerge from the 2016 Vacqueyras Les Cyprés, which is made from 75% Grenache, 20% Syrah and the rest Mourvèdre. With medium body, no hard edges, a silky texture, and rock-solid balance, it's an unquestionably outstanding wine that will keep for 7-8 years.
