Description
Bodega y Viñedos Mauricio Lorca was created by the distinguished winemaker Mauricio Lorca in order to realize the enormous potential of Argentine wines. Mauricio met the challenge to make great wine by respecting the location of the vineyards, planting in a high-density format and emphasizing the great terroirs of Argentina. A milestone in Argentina and in the world of winemaking was the introduction of “Lorca Opalo” , a top-quality line of completely unoaked wines.
Lorca Gran Poetico Blend 2007
Dan Murphys Tasting Note
Deep-red colour. Prominent aromas of blackberries, cherries and chocolate along with spicy and vanilla tones. Overwhelming in mouth with terrific balance between oak and fruit. Wonderful structure, elegant and persistent finish. Excellent wine to accompany all types of cheese.
Wine Advocate Tasting Note
‘The 2007 Gran Lorca Poetico is a special cluster selection: a blend of 70% Malbec, 20% Syrah and 10% Petit Verdot aged for 12 months in French and American oak. The nose is very expressive; the oak neatly enmeshed with the vibrant black cherry, Dorset plum and black olive aromas that are very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline note on the entry and indeed, there is something reminiscent of the sea throughout this wine. It is very crisp and taut with black fruit that sings on the finish. Excellent.’ 93 Pts Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Winerepublic Tasting Note
Lorca blendvin from Vista Flores, Valle de Uco, is a pure delight with härligs acidity and freshness and a mineral feeling like a small quarry with flint, granite, etc. The wine is stored 12 months in French (90%) and American (10%) oak barrels and only 3500 bottles a year are produced. An extremely well-balanced blend consisting of Malbec (70%) which contributes elegance, richness and rounded tannins, Syrah (about 20%) which puts an animal character, mineral tones and an ounce of burning rubber and Petit Verdot (about 10%) gives the flavor and aroma of cherries and a hint of violets.
Experience Mendoza Tasting Note
This wine is lean and mean with dynamic layers and aromas that exude earthiness and rich black fruit. Like modern architecture, the elegantly structured elements hit your mouth first and are then accented by succulent cherries and plums, velvety tannins and a long finish.
