L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Dark coloured wine verging on garnet, with an intense nose of licorice, red fruit, principally cherry but some strawberry and raspberry, earthy, a floral note, tar, cinnamon and black pepper. The wine is dry, with high alcohol, medium + bodied, med+ acidity and silky tannins. The palate has a pronounced flavour of licorice, black pepper, red cherry and red fruit. Pairing of beef stew cooked in red wine with rosemary and roasted garlic really drew out the black pepper notes in the wine. Wonderful on its own. A worthy substitute for Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Natalie's Review

Earthy with savoury herbs and lush raspberry aromas; supple and silky on the palate with ripe black raspberry, dark cherry, dried wild herbs, pepper spice and flinty mineral flavours.

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.
