LGDD is a discovery for which I propose in this post: Zinfandel. It was during a stint at Lavinia this weekend and looking for other California wine appreciated by Alexandra that we come across this bottle.
Although this variety seems well known overseas, it is, to my knowledge, (almost) not present among us.
I participated in the election of Top Wines, 2009 operation organized by the Union wine of Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur . 17 wines tasted over two rounds and the winners eventually approved by the vote of a majority. I made my quinté, I got into the mess. The tasting itself was obviously not a competition and it was very very good.
Finally, I had expected that the publication of volumes of LGDD take a little ahead. So I read it three in a row. Still going strong.

I serve in large wine glasses recently acquired. They are perfect for wine and ventilate the nuances of the dress. It is bright, limpid and beautiful jewels.
the nose, I'm not really surprised. The scents are, I think, not very far from traditional Bordeaux grape varieties, cabernet or merlot, good power. In order, I see the strawberry, vanilla, coffee, all complemented by a very slight hint of pepper. After aeration the dominant fruity expressed openly.
I take a sip of wine in your mouth. The attack is frank, very powerful. The wine is rachaichissant, invigorating and tonic on one side but also warm and full with ripe fruits and sweet. Yes, the texture is very pleasant, silky and caressed. For lack of acidity, the structure is a bit simple and modest, as desired.
The finish is pleasant, fruity, and good length. It is seductive, but without much elegance.
is a good first impression for the zinfandel.
LGDD's note for this wine: 15/20.
And of course, your comments are always welcome.
Cheers, NL
