Jane Staples rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A fragrant Burgundy with a nose showing fresh red cherry, earth and vanilla. A delicious palate shows bright red fruit, earth, soft baking spice and slight herbal touches with subtle oak. Very harmonious with a velvety mouthfeel and a multi-layered red fruit finish.
Matt Steeves rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A beautiful Pinot Noir, from the most famous land of world-class Pinot production, Burgundy. Fresh raspberry, tart cherry, elegant spice and herbs on the nose. Repeat on the palate. Well integrated tannins with lively acidity. A wine that will be sure to make any rich braised dish taste even better. 92 points. Tasted March 2015. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

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.
