I was excited to see the Olympic games on TV at every midnight in these days.

1st Grimau Chardonnay 2002 1554 yen
It was a big Chardonnay. I saw this growing in the oak cask at the winery 3 month ago.
It was matured very carefully. Only 10 casks around are produced every years.

2nd Chateau de Lascaux Nobles Pierres 2000 2000 yen
This was the top cuvee of Chateau de Lascauxin Coteaux du Languedoc, South-France,
a kind of organic wine.
Mr. CAVALIER, owner & winemaker, produced his wine very carefully like an artist.
I saw him March 5 in Tokyo" See my diary March 5". This was made by 100% Syrah,
but I thought this was like a Bordeaux Gran vin at first.
Then I found really comfortable a kind of mint flavor and very good fruits.
The taste was a typical high quality "Vin Nature".

3rd Marquis de Bolland Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 619 yen
I tried 3rd bottle tonight, because I skipped wine yesterday and I kept awake to see the
Olympic game on TV to midnight.
This reasonable wine was very nice even though drinking after expensive wine.
