94+ points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "Considerably more concentrated and tannic than the main cuvée, Faury's 2019 Saint Joseph Vieilles Vignes comes from 40- to 60-year-old vines in Chavanay. It's medium to full-bodied and loaded with black olives and blackberries, with a rich, velvety-textured finish that lingers a good long time. Just give it some time in the cellar. Drink: 2025-2035. (Jan 2022)"
92-94 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Assertive black/blue fruit, olive paste and floral aromas are complemented by peppery spice and mineral notes that emerge with aeration. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering sweet boysenberry, cassis and fruitcake flavors sharpened by a vein of juicy acidity. A smoky mineral nuance appears on the impressively long, blue-fruit-dominated finish, where well-knit tannins provide shape and closing grip. 60% whole clusters. (May 2020)"
