Reviews and Ratings

Alex & Priya - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Alex: A classic nose, with reserved power, bitter chocolate, bit of sweat, sage and earthy tobacco, with the fruit not to be found. The palate is full and tightly wound, with cassis liqueur and liquid rock essence, and built to last. Unapologetic, powerful style that shouldn't be opened yet as it needs time to soften. Excellent minerality and length with powerful firm tannins. Be patient, as this will be a lovely St. Estephe 15 years from now. Don't touch till at least 2022. 93 pts
This second growth Bordeaux red wine (2E Cru) is a robust blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Good cellar candidate. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
