Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 La Vieille Cure opens with cedar chest, graphite and tree bark scents, giving way to a core of baked blackberries, stewed plums and cherry compote, with wafts of Sichuan pepper and star anise. The full-bodied palate (15% alcohol) is wearing a lot of oak at this stage, with a good core of baked black fruits and loads of exotic spice accents, supported by grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing woody. Give it a good 5 years for the oak to integrated and drink it over the next 12-15 years or more.

— Lisa Perrotti-Brown (22/04/2021)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2018 - 92+ PARKER

Deep crimson. Very rich and voluptuous on the nose. Sweetish start but not sickly. Really opulent. Richer than most Fronsacs but really well balanced and (just) not over the top. Glamorous blend of 1990s ripeness and 21st-century freshness. Long.

— Jancis Robinson (11/01/2021)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2018 - 16.5 JANCIS ROBINSON

Aromas of plum, blueberry, dark chocolate and walnut husk. Some pine cone, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Chewy, creamy and polished all at once. Extremely well done. Try from 2023.
