1st Comazono Vineyard Pony Blanc Cask Matured 2019  1680 yen + tax  Sample Tasting

It is the high-grade cuvee of Pony Blanc made in Enzan Yamanashi from 100% Koshu.

I tasted standard Pony Blanc last week, which is a fresh and pure style.

This one is very rich and elegant style.

It was fermented in French oak cask and matured in the cask for 6 months by Sur Lie method.

I was amazed at the clean tropical fruits, beautiful acidity, and comfortable minerals.

It’s very rich and elegant.

If I tasted this one by blind, I would say ” It is Pinot Gris”.

I am sure it is a very fine Koshu wine.    

 

 

2nd Comazono Vineyard Pony Rouge Cask Matured 2019  1680 yen + tax  Sample Tasting

The red is also outstanding.

It is made from 100% Black Queen grown in Yamanashi.

It is matured in 40% French Oak cask and 60% American Oak cask for 6 months.

I didn’t feel any too oaky nuance.

I felt very rich-dense fruits, silky tannin and very nice mouthfeel.

I also felt nice red & black berries, tasty cacao and nuts.

It is a very charming and elegant red wine.

I think it is one of the best Black Queen wines in Japan.

The price is super reasonable, too.
