Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Black currant, licorice, leather, floral nose
Full bodied, gripping tannins and acidity, coffee, chocolate and cassis on the palate.

Lamb stew.
Olivier de Maisonneuve rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Nose reminding me of a victorian library on a november sunday.Leather,and a glass of port. The mouth is quite tannic,but not harsh. Not for your finger food, but with a hearty slab of beef it should be quite satisfying.
Monique Sosa rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Dark inky purple red wine with loads of cooked black berry black plum aromas. Hints of graphite and mint slide into the mix on the palate also; and wow what tremendous body! Pretty integrated tannins, luscious acidity and satiny smooth finish. Food wise, go big - pair with grilled game, bison perhaps.
Courtney Flood rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Black currant, cigar, and leather. Very manly wine. High acidity and tannin. Pair with a dry aged steak.
Valérie Dufour rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Nice nose full of red liquorice, cherry and spices. Great balance in the mouth with a nice acidity and lots of fruit.
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Deep ruby with jammy red cherries and currants. Secondaries of vanilla, cedar and graphite. Nice round tannins and a long cherry finish. A very good wine and an exceptional value.

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.
