92-94 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Gigondas Classique Vieilles Vignes shows impressive levels of black cherry fruit, joined by hints of garrigue and licorice. It's full-bodied, silky and easy to drink, finishing long, briny and savory. Drink: 2020-2030. (Aug 2019)"
91-93 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Deep, glistening ruby. Expansive aromas of ripe red/blue fruits, potpourri and licorice are complemented by bright mineral and exotic spice nuances that emerge with air. Juicy, penetrating raspberry, bitter cherry and candied violet flavors become sweeter with aeration and show a surprisingly delicate touch. Velvety tannins lend subtle grip to an impressively long, spice-laced finish that emphatically echoes the red fruit and floral notes. (Feb 2020)"
92 points Matt Walls (Decanter): "Smashed blueberries and raspberries, really vivid. Full-bodied, very rounded and flamboyant with a dense tannic mesh. This is juicy, not terribly long but certainly makes an impression. (Oct 2019)"
