Reviews and Ratings

Simon Chen rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Old world classic Bordeaux at a nice price point. Berries, plum and light oak on the nose. The palate is lightly rounded with medium acid and medium tannin. The wine finished with a touch of graphite balanced with oak. Medium length. A steal at LCBO for $24 (P)
In 1935, Clarence Dillon purchased Chateau Haut-Brion and created an homage to the Francophile American Clarendelle, according to the back label. This wine is aged in oak barrels. Enjoy with grilled lamb. - 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.
