Natalie's Score: 89/100

This classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon delivers supreme value for the Bordeaux region where you'll be hard-pressed (no pun intended) to find this quality at this price point. Very balanced and elegant, yet full-bodied with dark fruit aromas and just enough toasty oak. Decant for an hour and it'll award you even more pleasure.

Reviews and Ratings

Dianne Fisher - Sommelier, ISG rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

My score is based on its structure and things to come. Muted on the nose in the glass so the bottle went through a double decant which was worthwhile, to separate the sediment that had formed. Benchmark Bordeaux aromas and full grippy tannins. The acidity is there to support cellaring this wine for a couple more years that it will be sure to benefit from. Glad I bought a second bottle!

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.

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.
