Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Stunning! Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (74%), blended with 10% Merlot, 7% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, this wine spent 19 months in French oak. Thee resulting wine has lovely aromas of ripe and dried currant, blackberry, and black cherry, melded with notes of eucalyptus, cigar box, leather, and spicy smoke. Full bodied, with dry, grippy tannins, voluptuous rounded fruit on the palate, with bright acidity, and a smoky finish with lots of dried herb and leather notes. Tons of life in this wine, but also built to age. You can enjoy this over the next decade and be sure to accompany it with a beautiful grilled striploin, or lots of savoury, bold salumi and the oldest cheddar you can find. Decant for at least an hour.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
