Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Deep purple coloured wine, full body and smooth in the mouth, dry, medium+ acidity, medium + tannin and flavour and aroma of black pepper, green pepper and dark cherry. Excellent with Cuban beef empanadas, roast beef, olive ciabatta and old cheddar and a range of chocolate; Cadbury dark, 70% dark and dark with caramelized cocoa nibs and coffee. A pleasure to drink on its own as well.

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.
