Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

You get lost in this wine, in a good way. It pulls you slowly through decadent layers of black raspberry, black plum, cassis, herbs, chocolate, espresso, and decayed flowers. Serve with oven-roasted meats. This is what you want. This, is what you need. Buy it. Drink it. Love it. Have some. 93 Points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)

This has a fairly lifted, herbal Mediterranean nose with evergreen, rosemary and slightly overripe curranty fruit. Some graphite as well. It is medium weight, fairly dense, ripe and warm - a bit diffused and dry, with some licorice on the finish. The length is very good. Quite savoury. Tasted July 2017

Greg Hughes rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This Minervois is Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, and Cinsault.
This would be pretty ageable. It's heavily structured - big and bold.
Aromas of cushed flowers, pencil shavings, plum, chocolate, and currants.
This has some pretty firm tannins. Raspberry, fig, plum and chocolate. Slight leathery funk from the Carignan.

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.
