| Review: |
"The golden-yellow colored 2019 Domaine de l'Horizon Blanc opens intense and chalky on the concentrated and refreshing nose that reveals lemon zest notes intertwined with notes of crushed stones. Round, lush and intense on the palate, this is a rich, full-bodied and sustainable blend of Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc with Macabeo. Aged for one year in smaller barrels, this mouth-filling and hedonistic wine reveals spectacular finesse and elegance with fine tannins and a persistent mineral structure. A superb white from Calce. Natural cork. 13% stated alcohol. Tasted in Oldenburg, Germany, in February 2022." |
