Hub Wine Co brings us these incredible deals from around the world. How do they do it?

We can’t reveal sources but trust me when I tell you these are some of the greatest wine deals...

90 points- Wine Cellar Insider The nose offers aromatic power and fine concentration. It reveals notes of crushed cassis, crushed strawberry as well as very fine hints of toast and pepper. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced and offers freshness, minerality, a fine acidulous frame as well as a small tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crushed redcurrant, wild raspberry and small...

92 points - James Suckling A solid red with currant, chocolate and walnut character. Medium body, round yet firm tannins and a delicious finish. Typical Bordeaux from this excellent vintage. A blend of 60 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 40 per cent merlot. Needs two to three years to soften. This is the second wine of famed Chateau larose Trintaudon.

87 points Wine Enthusiast An attractive, young blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, this fresh wine is also rich with acidity. It has a light zesty character and a creamy aftertaste. Drink the wine from late 2021.

88 pts. Wine Enthusiat Firmly tannic with a dusty texture, this wine is also rich in spicy black fruits and balanced with acidity. It has plenty of potential, with rich tannins and good acidity at the end. Drink from 2021

This bold wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grown on gravelly soils from the river. The deep gravel enables an optimum drainage and preserves the vines from the hot summer sun, while the Garonne River creates a micro-climate limiting temperature variations so the berries can grow steadily and achieve maximum ripeness. Notes of violets and ripe plums on the nose, this wine...

Restrained, fruity aroma with peach, yellow apple, barrel, wax, gooseberry and a touch of honey. Medium-bodied, fruity taste with a smooth texture, fine, balanced acidity, really good length with nuanced tones and a fresh finish. Organic. 13%abv

James Suckling 93 Points "The purity of fruit to this is really attractive with blue fruit, blackberries and flowers on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with fine tannin's, a solid core of fruit and a long, attractive finish. Drink in 2022 and onwards.

92+ points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Clos du Roy has quite an oaky/cedary nose to begin, soon giving way to vibrant black cherries, warm plums and ripe blackberries scents with touches of tobacco leaf and new leather. Full-bodied, big, rich and concentrated (15% alcohol), the palate exudes black fruit preserves and spicy accents, framed by firm, ripe,...

Rich tannins and dense fruit are balanced with the relatively light texture of this wine, highlighting the freshness and lively black currant fruit. At the same time, the tannins are there, dry at the core of the wine and promising aging. This wine will be eady to drink from 2023

Decanter Magazine: 97 Points "We shouldn’t forget just how good 2016 was, and to find a Haut-Medoc wine still available from this vintage within our Value price category was an unexpected treat. This is dark purple-red, with earthy and purposeful aromas. The fruit is rich, dense and closely constituted, just beginning to leave the flush of youth behind it but with plenty of cladding to take it...

Indulgent fruit that’s intense and compelling. The structure is elegant and full of silky tannins. It undergoes 14 months of aging. It’s roundness and suppleness allow it to be enjoyed from a young age.

Jeb Dunnuck 96 Points "Talk about a gem in the vintage, I was blown away by the 2016 Château Marquis d'Alesme Becker on each of the three times I was able to taste it. This estate has been on an undeniable roll since the arrival of Marjolaine de Conicnck in 2009, and the 2016 is unquestionably the best yet. A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and the rest Cabernet...

94James Suckling A tight and subtle wine with very pretty ripe-fruit character and chocolate. Medium to full body. Needs time to open. Better in 2020.
