91 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Made from 80% Grenache and 10% each of Mourvèdre and Syrah, aged half in cement tanks and half in foudre, the 2012 Rasteau Prestige exhibits notes of olive tapenade, seaweed and tobacco to go with classic darker style fruit. Medium to full-bodied, with good concentration, it’s a more elegant, streamlined and fresh example of this cuvee that will drink nicely through 2022. Drink: 2014-2022. (Jan 2015)"
91 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Brilliant ruby. Deep-pitched aromas of cherry liqueur, cassis and candied flowers are sharpened by a mineral nuance and a hint of cracked pepper. Appealingly sweet and open-knit, offering plush blackberry and cherry flavors and a touch of licorice pastille. Supple tannins frame the finish, which hangs on with strong, fruity tenacity. Drink: 2017-2022. (Jun 2016)"
