John Szabo, MS

A wonderfully classic, unapologetically leafy-herbal left bank Bordeaux with genuine zest, freshness and crunchy black fruit flavour. I love the acids, the vibrancy and the complexity, not to mention the length. This is arch-traditional wine in the best sense, and a nice value at that. Drink or preferably hold 2-4 years. Tasted March 2015. Value Rating: ***
Heather Wall rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Lots of ripe dark fruit in this left bank Bordeaux red wine. Dark plum, black cherry, vanilla, black earth, leather, blackcurrant leaf, graphite and eucalyptus. Tannins are polishing and acidity is balanced and refreshing. Medium bodied with a long fruit and tannin finish. This is a nicely crafted Bordeaux for $28 price tag. Drink now with potential to age. Serve with finer cuts of beef.
Tasted: March 2015
Jane Staples rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A soft enticing nose with ripe red fruit, earth and a touch of smoke. A multi-layered palate with red fruit, earth, spice and subtle oak.Very harmonious with soft tannins. Complex red fruit finish.




Natalie's Review

Château Haut Selve Réserve 2010, Graves, Bordeaux A.C., France: The Graves region of southern Bordeaux tends to produce the biggest red wines in the Bordeaux region. This is no exceptional. The difference here is a gorgeous balance, layered complexity and supple enticing aromas of fleshy black fruit and toasty oak. This wine has remarkable intensity and concentration for just 13.5% alcohol -- love it! Drink: 2017-2022. 235424 13.50% XD 750 mL  $27.95 Score: 93/100. April 4, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine.

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.
