Oct 19
We received Mr. Alfonso Larrain , CEO of Concha y Toro.
It is the first time he has come to Japan. Because I am used to meeting VIPs in the wine world, I am no problem to see them ordinary. But he was different.
He has tremendous intensity, Charismatic atmosphere. I thought he liked some character of Star Wars.
I was not able to tell him a joke. However he told me " It is a very nice shop".
1st
Tortoise Creek Sauvignon Blanc 2004
950 yen
I felt very nice and long acid which I difficultly find in South France Sauvignon Blanc.
I also felt big fresh fruits taste a lot. And it was very good balance.
It was very nice Sauvignon Blanc.
I was sure again the white 2004 in South France was very good vintage.

2nd
Domaine Saint-Jacques d'Albas 2003
1000 yen
It was Minervois red wine.
I felt a lot of good fruits taste like a black cherry.
It had stable tannin but the fruits flavor masked it. Then It was really easy to drink, tasty.
I felt very natural wine nuance.
