Robert Parker said of the Rhones in issue 185: "Tasting the 2007s out of bottle has confirmed my thoughts - this is a truly historic and profoundly great vintage...this may be the most compelling vintage of any viticultural region I have ever tasted.? This stunning wine exhibits a dense purple color along with abundant quantities of blackberry fruit, pepper, bouquet garni, spice box, and meaty notes. Full-bodied and opulent, it is a superior Vacqueyras from a great vintage. The 2007s merit serious attention. 91-93 points RP
