1981 Château Cheval Blanc, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Wonderful... Decanted about 30 minutes... bright and clean red color. At the beginning very powerful ripe blackberries, liquorice, spices... over the time it develop toward leather, mocha, chocolate... Medium bodied, concentrated with lovely acidity. Very matured and softened, smooth tannins. Lovely mineral finish, very very long... such delicate complexity... (95 pts)
2005 Columbia Crest Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Washington, Columbia Valley
Tick ruby color. Big, powerful, spice with vegetable nose... Sweet and ripe tannins. Some chocolate, oak, and long mineral finish. Big but fantastically balanced... definitely one of best USA wines I've tried until now. (92 pts)
Tsukinokatsura Heiankyo “Ancient Kyoto” Sake
Ridiculously good sake... on the nose vanilla, honey, cream... on the palate very round and smooth and very rich. Silk like... fantastic.
