Reviews and Ratings

Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Wow - a favourite at our blind tasting with the wine ladies! Big, sumptuous and complex boasting loads of cassis, blueberry, floral aromas and elegant but subtle oak notes. Impressive and smooth with fine tannins and a nice long finish.
Jennifer CAPS Certified Somm rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Beautiful deep magenta colour. Intense aromas of bergamot tea, blueberry, black cherry and violets. Full-bodied and flavourful with a delicious layered finish. A great fire-side winter red.
The 2008 vintage of this Gran Reserva Malbec is made from grapes grown on 50 year old vines. The terms Reserva and Gran Reserva in Argentina don't mean the same thing as they do in Rioja, Spain, which involves very specific criteria. This wine was matured 12 months in new French and American oak barrels. - 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.
