Jon Steeves rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

This is a wonderful rich, full-bodied Chateuneuf du Pape from the 2012 vintage offering exceptional aromatics, structure, balance and typicity. Elegant, pleasant and integrating well when tasted in February 2016. Expressing red field berries, tart red currant, savoury herbs and minerality. This wine is tightly-wound and designed to pair with food. Would accompany a braised red meat dish, cassoulet or old-world cheese platter with pleasure. Complexity and sensory pleasure in a bottle. Drinkable now and worthy of cellaring a case for up to a decade 2016-2026 and enjoying it's evolution. @jonsteeves rated 94/100 tasted @VanWineFest 2016

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.
