[Leica] PSTCRD: The Douro Valley - Douglas

[Philippe]

A Quinta i.e. "Château" in Bordeaux
Many quints around, and a many ports - the big firms buy the juice from them all in fact.

I know you like old Bx as much as I do. Old Port (when vintage or LBV) is also very special in its own merits and both Alice and I terribly enjoy it :-)
We tasted some 40 yo vintage there, and bought some 30 y.o that we brought back - now a big competitor to Islay and Sauternes here ;-)

Thanks for viewing
