Reviews and Ratings

Jason Solanki rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

VERY good offering from #99 himself. Lead/pencil/graphite, smoke aromas. All remain on the palate + cassis notes and blackberry. Medium-full bodied with a long finish. Chalky tannins that would have rewarded 2-3 years in the cellar, but definitely enjoyable now with a full flavoured dish - as I did last night.
Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This Christmas gift from my sister proved to be a pleasant surprise. Nice deep ruby color combined with flavours of plum, raspberry, smokey tobacco, spice and oak. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Jennifer Hart rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Chocolate, cassis, tobacco, slightly savoury. Rich and silky, nicely balanced. Developed deliciously as it decanted and opened up.

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.
