Reviews and Ratings

Château Altimar Lalande De Pomerol 2016 is a beautifully intense 55% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon red wine blend from the Bordeaux wine region. Eye-popping aromas on the nose of mint, anise, ripe raspberry, cherry, black pepper and mochanilla. Full and rich on the palate with ripe red berry fruit, raspberry, spiced plum, liquorice, powerful and rich on the palate. Tannins are full, fine and elegant. Finishes long and luxurious, but would benefit from a couple of years in cellar to evolve and integrate all those flavours. If you can't wait, decant two hours prior to pouring with a prime rib roast or roast pheasant. This vintage was awarded Silver at the 2018 Wine Competition of Independent Winegrowers. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
