Hatte gestern grad den Blaufränkisch Hoförtl vom Weingut Lentsch im Glas ;-)
AntwortenLöschenWirklich sensationeller Weinwert für €4,60. Leider schon die letzte Flasche, aber so schlimm ist es nicht. Von den höherwertigen Weinen liegen ja noch einige im Keller.
Das freut mich zu hören.
AntwortenLöschenDas Weingut Lentsch bekommt auch in letzter Zeit zunehmend mehr Anerkennung von den österreichischen Weinkritikern.
Bsp. Remanenz 06 - 93 Pkt. von Falstaff um €16.
Die Sieger hatten 94 Pkt. und kosten aber rund das Doppelte.
Aber zum Glück legen wir keinen Wert auf die Meinung vom Herrn Moser sondern nur auf unsere Eigene ;-)
