Dune Buggy Birthday Cakes

Corton Grand Cru - Domaine Clos Pavelot

I am currently reading the book by Jonathan Nossiter - The taste and power. That's fine. I do not really with some of the ideas he develops. It also develops, I think, not enough. I will say no more, not here.
In any case, the book paints a beautiful portrait of Lavinia store. And it's been a while since I myself am not rendering. Completely under the influence of the book, I decided to spend one night coming home from work. I do not even turn in the rays of Bordeaux (completely under control I tell you!). Burgundy and dark to make my choice. The seller is not very warm. I think it moved. I will say no more, not here. Released him, I take my time and decide my choice. So what wine I'll try to tell.

The dress is beautiful, bright and cherry.
The nose of great finesse and complexity of a left charge that gives it a smoky character. I note with beautiful aromas of strawberry lovers. It's beautiful. It is a wine that is breathed dozens of times, but were afraid to drink until several minutes. And fragrances that permeate deep into the nose. In the mouth it
silky tannins are present but mild. What subtlety! mixed together in a very quiet strength earth (Local?). The acidity is perfect. It gives the wine a beautiful long strawberry, licorice: it is right.
The empty mouth, the flavors go gradually. Then they reappear seconds later with breathing. They persist, it will fill you. It's very, very beautiful.

Caramba!

LGDD's note for this wine: 18/20.

Original Creative Table Baby Shower

Floridène - Graves Chateau Ferran

Dear readers, the favorite in full swing. This is an opportunity to discover wines, those that are not usually found on the shelves during the year. Gold they were replenished at Casino. I bought a few bottles of Pieuré-Lichine € 14.95.
The next day I fall, again at Casino on a Clos Floridène. It is a wine that I tasted once, and that a colleague told me regularly the greater good. A € 9.50 in the 2005 vintage is a bargain. I take the last bottle.
Marc gives me the name of the wine of God drops. I've already forgotten. But more importantly, we planned a wine tasting: wine of God versus drops of very good Bordeaux. One thing is sure, the wine Drops of God will have his post on this blog.

We taste the wine with the meal. Then, after this, I use a glass to write this post.
The dress shows a beautiful ruby. Deep and uniform, it does not trace of evolution.
The nose is immediately quite charming. I see hints of red fruits, plum. Notes livestock are present and result of smoking and leather.
palate is rather round and harmonious. The tannins and acidity of the wine blend into a whole beguiling, well-balanced offering lots of fun. This wine, at a time, a beautiful but delicate sleek, seductive aroma that is expressed. All that invades the mouth. Very good.
Good length for a wine of such finesse and retro light on the kernel.
Okay.

LGDD's note for this wine: 16 to 16.5 / 20.

Detached Retina More Condition_symptoms

- Pessac-Leognan Chateau

I have long believed that the 2002 vintage in Bordeaux was pretty mediocre. But the wines I tasted this year is rarely disappointed me. 2002 is very beautiful, and, luck, prices often remained affordable.
Giant Casino d'Arcachon proposed Chateau Prieuré Lichine 2006, Margaux - Grand Cru in 1855 - at the cost of the second wine (Le Cloitre du Prieuré Lichine), 14,95 €: labeling error. I did not do pray, I took everything. My favorite early.
Besides the start FAV tomorrow at Carrefour and Casino. I'll go for a ride to buy a few bottles to drink right away, that's all.

I opened the bottle a little more than two hours in advance. S'échapèrent charming fragrance of the neck right away, which I handed over the cap backwards.
In the glass, the dress is pretty clear and the edge of the disc takes on red-orange. The nose is nice and fairly typical of the wines of Pessac: very ripe fruit, notes of roasted coffee, cakes and dry woodland.
palate, the attack is a bit light, the wine certainly lack of concentration. Tannins are still present and this gives a good length. Final figs, cocoa, perhaps.
A well-structured wine that will delight the palate and the approval nicely barbecued sausage tonight.

The note for this wine LGDD: 15/20.

Used Go Kart Frame For Sale

Génisson - Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux

Returning from a trip to Portugal, passsage in the Douro Valley was magical. With Alex we tasted great wines of Port and red wines that are better known.
Already two months since I had not posted on LGDD. Incidentally, a wine that I liked: Croix de Beaucaillou 2003, rich and powerful, with well integrated tannins.
Wines Arrivet will have their own tickets. As far as I remember a bottle of Chateau Génisson embellished family meals to Laubaudie. Remember tasting.

The dress, which is just beginning to evolve, displays a lovely ruby rather clear. Nose, is quite expressive, fruity, with hints vétégales. The woodland is also expressed after 11 years. After aeration, I find primary aromas of sweet black berries, so that the air vents, side, mainly leather and undergrowth.
In the palate, the wine is soft yet present immediately a good material. Its acidity to give it body. This wine has character, a sturdy character of Bordeaux. For flavorings are hints of roasting, a final hazelnut and roasted almond. A report
excellent quality / price for this wine very well.
