"The 2019 Vacqueyras Les 2 Monardes is a powerful, yet balanced wine that has an old-school edge in its meaty, peppery, leather, and nutty aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has some firmer tannins, good overall balance, and outstanding length. It just needs a handful of years of bottle age and should have a solid decade of prime drinking."
