Mar. 28
The government requested us to keep staying home from today.
I cooked dinner.
Sashimi
Roast Chicken with Potato Gratin
Very good!
1st Shimora Koshu 2015
It is made by Mr. Phillip Moraghan, who is a famous winemaker in Victoria Austraklia, and Rika, the wife of Philip, from 100% Koshu grown in Katsunuma Japan.
Because Rika used to work Katsunuma Winery, they produced Koshu wine every year recently.
I felt very elegant aroma, rich fruits and tender minerals.
The taste is very deep even though the alcohol degree is only 9.1%.
It is very tasty.
I want to try to taste other vintages.
2nd Kizan Red 2005
It is an old vintage Kizan red wine made from 100% Black Queen.
I felt fresh red fruits even though it had a 16 years-maturing.
I couldn’t find any old wine nuance.
Also I couldn’t find and wild touch that Black Queen often has.
The style is similar to some very good Barbera in Italy.
I was amazed at the long mature potential of this grape variety.
Great! Great!
