Julia Kelada rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Well, this would have to be my first challenge! Under no circumstance is this not a good wine, in fact, i would suggest buying this wine and keeping it to mature and turn into the gem i'm sure it will one day be! lets just clarify, this simply isn't my type of wine, but none the less, a pleasant wine. it has a note that I've never really experienced before, mint….and i have to say that it took several sips for me to tune into that but when i did i wasn't sure if it was entirely appropriate. Once i had managed to get over that step, I was aware of dark sweet fruits and almost immediately the palate became dry and the length of the tannins were quite incredible. The start was almost watery to this wine yet I did feel that it would be a delicious wine with a cheese platter, by the time the tannins had done their deed on my tongue, I was craving prosciutto and felt like i had gone on quite a roller coaster of a ride with this Bordeaux! so in conclusion , i would have to say, from pure curiosity, and at an excellent price, give it a go….it was definitely a conversation piece!
Bottoms up!
