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.

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.
rating of LGDD for this wine: 15/20.
And of course, your comments are always welcome.
Cheers, NL
