Very Delicious!

Jan. 26

I cooked a pasta for lunch using canned tomato made by my friend, who is a culinary expert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pasta was very delicious!

 

 

 

1st Oriol Rossell Les Cerveres 2015  3200 yen + tax

This white wine is the top cuvee of the winery.

It is made from 100% Xarel-lo grown in the best part of the estate vineyard by organic method.

At first, I felt a little oxidized smell but it went away soon.

The style was “BIO” wine because it used a very little sulfur only.

I felt very rich-elegant fruits, comfortable mouthfeel and excellent minerals.

I felt the nuance of dry fruits, apple pie, nuts, caramel, fruits jam, etc.

The taste was very complex.

So delicious!

 

 

2nd Truckheim Pinot Noir T 2015  4200 yen + tax

Also, this red is the top cuvee of the winery.

The vintage is same as the first wine, too.

It is made from 100% Pinot Noir grown in “Riesling Grand Cru” vineyards of the estate winery.

I felt excellent aroma, rich fruits, silky tannin and very impressive “fines”.

What a wonderful Pinot Noir is this!!

If this one were Burgundy Pinot Noir, the price would be over twice, I think.

I was very impressed in the great potential of Alsace Pinot Noir.
