Reviews and Ratings

Brimming with spicy blackberry, smoked meat, mint and tobacco. Lithe and fine, with good depth of flavour. Some grip on the still-youthful tannins. This will respond well to 1-3 years in cellar, but it’s drinking wonderfully now. (Just don’t tell Frank that – his ego’s already set to burst.) Source: Vintages Wine Panel

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.

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.
