Duke Tutiac - Premieres Cotes de Blaye Chateau Belgrave

Saturday is the Show. After hesitation and uncertainty, I'll still check it out.
I do not have much to say about my news bacchanalian. Recent tastings that are not on this blog. Pommard 1er Cru Chateau de Meursault, 2004 vintage, the wine was really starting to open when the last drink was served. It is a great wine, it was a treat nonetheless. Also, a Chinon from Charles Joguet - Varennes du Grand Clos - 2002, after having heard so much in the book of J. Nossiter. So it's not Charles himself, who makes wine, but it was very good, very aromatic. I started
Wine French masterpiece Endangered Alexander Rouge. The opening remarks are disordered. I hope it does not turn into a curse literature. I'll tell you more when I have advanced advantage.

: 12.5%
Cap: Cork, see photo
production Country: France

The bottle has been open for two hours, when I turn on the computer to write a ticket. A drink was drunk with the meal.
The dress shines with a beautiful ruby. It is clear and rich, greedy.
Beautiful nose, a large aromatic intensity. The fineness of the bouquet to me suggests a significant proportion of Merlot in this wine. I smell of vanilla, red fruits and some earthy notes.
palate, the attack is straightforward, the wine is developing well. It deploys prune, gingerbread. Structure with finesse and texture and fresh air for this delicious nectar. The tannins are fairly smooth, however.
The finish is elegant and uplifting. In a marked acidity just as it should.

Belle surprise and value for money gun! As usual, if I dared.

LGDD's note for this wine: 14/20.

And of course, your comments are always welcome.

Cheers, NL

Big Wood Cubes For Sale

- High Medoc

I buy many bottles to auction on eBay. Finally, I bought a lot. I am a little calmer. With each purchase I still a little apprehensive. Is this a real, not counterfeit? Under what conditions he was kept ? Finally, I bought but I have very little drop. So going with my sister a few days ago (because it is there that this is part of my stock), I brought a bottle bought at the auction site a year earlier. I believe it was the first Grand Cru Classé so I made the purchase.
Playing now: An American in the vineyards of Robert V. Camuto, very well. An American journalist recounting her adventures in the French vineyards. His approach to wine is, I think, relevant and interesting to meet the winemakers and their land without falling into the soil. I'm starting to
receive invitations to the exhibition of independent growers. The date is still quite a misnomer since in a month of Christmas a good portion of my budget is spent on gifts. Why not shift it in January!? I will go anyway to buy a round, traditionally, three bottles of Chateau Valguy. I hope they will be, their Sauterne is terrible and I can feed my vertical castle with the year 2007.

production Country: France Region

Price: 15,20 €

I open the bottle. Wine is not ventilated and directly poured into large wine glasses which I will turn length.
The dress is dark red, almost blood red, purple hues. The nose is powerful, mostly dominated by burnt notes: vanilla, licorice, chocolate. The fruit is present, it speaks well to the aeration of red fruits, and bananas maybe.
sip. The attack is frank and fresh. The wine is very elegant. Its tannins are still present, but expressed already well-rounded, which envelop, give it a racy character really fun. Tobacco, spices, red fruits make up the flavors of this wine and without fuss.
It is well balanced in its deployment in the mouth, and acidity that gives it appears in the final good length. The persistence of the plum in the mouth is quite exquisite.

LGDD's note for this beautiful wine that takes its place in the Grand Cru Classé, no doubt: 16.5 to 17 / 20.

And of course, your comments are always welcome.
