Julia Kelada rated this wine as 96/100 with the following review:

Recently i went out for a fine dining meal where you were able to take your own wine. In these situations its difficult to know what type of wine to take as there is no knowing what may be on the menu. Also, i had not had the chance to taste this wine so i was truly going blind. Well i was absolutely overjoyed with the first sip of this wine. It was truly the icing on the cake of our evening.
The wine is extremely smooth, there was a delicious rich plum smell and taste that introduced itself followed by a delicate woodsy introduction with a hint of chocolate. There are notes of fruits and a mild spice. as the wine heats up there is a mineral note on the nose and ends on a beautiful smooth finish.
Bottoms up!

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.
