Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Dark berry-cassis and deep dark chocolate on nose and palate. Big-bodied with tenacious tannins and a generous finish. Put a few down for a year or so or pair tonight with the usual suspects - steak or roast beef; or try rosemary-balsamic lamb chops with garlic mash, yum!
Brian Gray Hamilton rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A nose of dark berries, toasted oak and cocoa. Palette is juicy, dense and fruity with ample but fine tannins, plush and persistent finish. A little more freshness from greater acidity would have made this wine even better with food but a very good value and enjoyable quaff!
Nick Onischuk rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

The Terra D’uro Finca La Rana Toro 2011 features aromas and flavours of cherry, red berry fruit, vanilla and spice. Tasted on Janaury 31, 2016 (88/100)
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Subtle aromas of raspberry and cassis. A little bit of grippy tannin on the palate, and flavours that follow the aromas. A nice red for roast turkey.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A dry, fragrant Spanish red with aromas and flavours of dark cherry, baking spices, oak and slight herbal touches. Good acidity. Very versatile with food choices.
Bill Wright Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Starts with a lovely aroma of vanilla and then a great mix of red fruit. Medium body and full flavour. Tasting Jan 31/16
Heather Wall rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Deep ruby/purple with with notes of plum, cherry cassis, vanilla, herbal. Medium-bodied with drying tannins and bright acidity. Lingering drying finish. Has potential to age. Suggest decanting if you enjoy this wine today. Good value.
Tasted: January 2016

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.
