Stock is very limited so snap these up while you can!
Domaine de
l’Hortus « Grande Cuvée » blanc 2012: Rating 93.
“It is a
rich, fleshy wine that offers up ample buttered peaches, brioche, crushed rock-like
minerality and hints of nuttiness on the nose. This flows to a medium to
full-bodied, texture and beautifully layered white that has impressive
delineation and cut integrated acidity and a big finish. Classy all aound, it’s
a serious effort to enjoy over the coming 1-2 years.”
Domaine de
l’Hortus “Grande Cuvée » rouge 2011: Rating 92.
“Deeper and
richer, with loads of blackberry and black raspberry fruit supported by pepper,
olive, violets and meaty notions, the 2011 Pic Saint Loup « Grande Cuvée »
is medium to full-bodied, deep, layered and has gorgeous purity of fruit … It
is already drinking beautifully, yet should evolve nicely for upwards of a
decade.”
Bergerie de
l’Hortus rouge 2012: Rating
90.
“It over
delivers and it’s reminiscent of a Cote-Rotie with its white pepper, olive,
underbrush, blackberry and even hints of bacon fat on the nose. Medium bodied
elegant and beautifully seamless and silky, with fine tannin and good acidity,
it should be enjoyed over the coming 3-5 years.
Congratulations to Luigi Bosca for winning a Silver at the AWA 2014 (Argentinean Wine
Awards) for their Malbec Seleccion Vistalba. This is a local competition that brings international judges and
is gaining more and more recognition every year. Steven Spurrier was among the
judges in 2014.
