"Over the past quarter century, La Tour Vieille hasbuilt up an impressive reputation, and their most recent releases demonstrate that they are among the elite estates of Roussillon. The late-bottled La Tour Vieille Banyuls Reserva leads with cocoa powder, cardamom, vanilla and caramel, comes to the palate with an unusual combination of candied raspberry, chocolate, and brown spices, and finishes with impressive persistence if less sheer concentration or polish than its vintage counterparts."-David Schildknecht Wine Advocate 88 Points
