Rhone Report 91-93+
"One of the top barrel samples, the 2011 Pierre Amadieu Vacqueyras La Grangeliére checks in as a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah that is aged 60% in tank, and 40% in 2-year-old barrels. Ripe, textured, and gorgeously rich, it offers up notions of bing cherry, licorice, leather, and spice-box to go with a fleshy, full-bodied palate. This will be a big 2011, and as with most wines from this vintage, it should be approachable on release. I suspect it will drink well for 7-8 years or more."
International Wine Cellar 90-92
"Bright ruby-red. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of raspberry and cherry, with an Asian spice element building with air. Silky and seamless on the palate, offering juicy red fruit flavors and a lithe pinot-like texture and elegance. A floral note comes up with air and carries through the long, penetrating finish. Shows the elegance of the best '11s to full effect."~JR
