Reviews and Ratings

Alex & Priya - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Fully mature and drinking at peak, this is all you could ask for in a well-priced Bordeaux of age 26. A lean classic style exuding complexity with old leather boots, blue cheese, cassis jam, mint, cigar, ash and forest floor. Still a fair concentration of ashen dark fruit on the palate, roped in fine acidity and lithe with fully resolved tannin. Plenty of savoury nuance on the finale of impressive length. Hits well above the price mark, even for new vintages. 92 pts

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.
