Jan. 20
I went to the central Tokyo on business.
I saw less people as usual.
1st Tortues en Crique Chardonnay-Viognier 2020 1100 yen
The old name of this one was Tortoise Creek.
It is one of the longest seller wines in Relax Wine since 1999.
It is made from Chardonnay and Viognier grown in Languedoc.
I felt cool fruits and solid minerals.
The taste was clean, crisp and dry.
The time will grow on the taste, I think.
2nd Tortues en Crique Syrah-Mourvèdre 2020 1100 yen
It is made from Syrah and Mourvèdre grown in Languedoc, too.
Long time ago, the style of this one was dark, heavy and concentrated.
However, the style has changed.
I felt charming fruits, a lot of berries, nice acidity and mild tannin.
It is a charming style of red wine.
Tasty!
