Score 91/100 · Drink 2017-2023, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Nov 2017

A blend of 80% Grenache (matured in concrete) and 20% Syrah (matured in oak), the 2015 Rasteau la Ponce delivers creamy-textured blackberry fruit with hints of cola and allspice. It's medium to full-bodied with a lingering, spicy finish and should drink well for another 4-5 years.

Score 16/20 · Drink 2018-2025, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2016

80% Grenache, 20% Syrah. The Grenache is in concrete tank for a year and the Syrah in oak barrel for a year. Tank sample. Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Rather oxidised sample but with lots of suave fruit underneath. Drawing-room Rasteau rather than the rustic sort! Maybe another sample would be even more impressive… Lots of punch. I suspect I am under-scoring this wine. (JR)
