No Wine Day

 

 

Oct. 21

It suddenly became cold. The cold in the morning is like winter.

However, my body is cold, but my feelings cannot keep up with the cold, and I still have strong memories of summer.

Be careful not to catch a cold with this imbalance.

 

 

Today’s dinner was sukiyaki.

 

 

I bought a Japanese black beef on sale at the supermarket.

 

 

It was delicious.

 

 

Today’s Wine

 

 

La Font de L’Olivier Carignan V.V. 2022 2,680 yen

Last month, I bought it at Todaya in Itabashi.

It is a red wine from Languedoc made with 100% 80 years old Carignan vines.

Carignan usually becomes very dark in color and high in alcohol wine, so it is usually blended with other grapes.

But this one is rare 100% Carignan.

Well, this Carignan has a surprisingly elegant style.

It is full of black berry fruit flavors reminiscent of prunes.

I felt pleasant acidity and rounded tannins make it smooth on the palate.

The aftertaste lasts very long and comfortable.

Hmm, it’s delicious. There is such a light and deep flavor of Carignan.

I was educated a lot again.
