1st Kusunoki Winery Chardonnay Cask Matured 2015   4610 yen

It is made from 100% Chardonnay grown  in the estate vineyards in Nagano.

It has very good reputations but I hadn’t tatsted this before.

Oh! I felt very big and elegant fruits witha little good oaak cask nuance.

Also I was amazed in the very fine minerals.

I was sure that this Chardonnay is very special.

It is one of the best Chardonnay wines in Japan, I think.

Well, it may be the top class Chardonnay in the world.

 

2nd Kusunoki Winery Merlot 2013 2880 yen

The red is also surprisingly nice.

At first, I felt a light matured nuance.

Then the very fine-elegant red fruits gradually came up.

Then I felt some voluptuous flavor like a very fine honey and propolis.

I also felt some good bitter taste in the after taste.

It’s a very deep, complex and sexy red wine, isn’t it?

If I taste this by blind, I would not say it is a Japan Wine.

I was sure again that Kusunoki is a very special winery in Japan.
