Reviews and Ratings

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This purple-hued full bodied wine has aromas of ripe blueberries, blackberries and plums, as well as earthy beets, sweet spice and wet cedar. The tannins are medium and the wine has the perfect level of acidity. In terms of flavours, there are juicy blackberries, espresso and cinnamon at the finish. A very enjoyable wine at a great price!

Tasted November 2017
Aneto (2011) is cherry liqueur, smoke, earthy florals on the nose with ripe dark cherries, black currant, mint and savoury spice on the palate. This deep, rich and robust red is a blend of 40% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca, 30% Tinta Roriz. Tannins are smooth and acidity is in check. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
