Reviews and Ratings

David Skinner rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Deep ruby to Garnet with a tight brickish rim. Layers of fragrance billow from the glass. Deeply luscious currant flavours packed with nuanced blackberry and chocolate flavours. Subtle spices, cedar and oaky hints round out the nose. On the palate there is at least as much to offer. Great acid-tannin balance and well integrated fruit and oak flavours make the full bodied mouthfeel pleasurable. A lingering long finish with overtones of fruit and spice. (Tasted March 2016)

Enjoy this with rare roast beef and a rich black pepper sauce.

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.
