Suntory Tomi no oka

-- 2020

Very nice. Light beginning, heavy mid to after. Feel tannins, full body and quite “round - smooth carved edges” impression but fruity easy to drink lightness that makes it sticky. Toward Merlot? 65% Petit Verdot, 24% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. Need to try again. — 4 months ago

Drinking with Josh, Anna, Hanna, Vandan, and Kai while eating a vegetarian ragu made by Josh. More ruby than bottle #2, nose is sweet, the taste is delicate and bright. Would drink again! — 3 years ago

Gi kai Ouranos Xinomavro 2017

Popped and poured; no formal notes. This glass was poured from Coravin. A fun, predominantly red fruited Xinomavro that has an interesting sweet corn sort of thing going on. Red fruits and leather. Structure is firm but well managed and not punishing. Balanced. A few years of age and Coravin may have played a role in development. — a year ago

@Peter van den Besselaar I have read that some compare Xinomavro to Nebbiolo and, in theory, I get it. In practice, I have yet to have a Xinomavro stir my soul like Nebbiolo can. Perhaps that will come with time.

815 California Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Bought at Hawaii Kai Costco. I don’t think I’ve had this vintage. Pleasant enough for the price point. Would buy again. Not remembering the cost. — 2 years ago

Honey roasted campfire. Awesome with anything umami bomb. An excellent representation of Tokaji for the kai-curious. Cork responsibly. — 2 years ago

Terre de Vertus 1er Cru Brut Nature Champagne Chardonnay 2013

2021/2/3&5 with tori seri nabe and sushi. LTV130319. Still very young but perhaps starting to decompress a bit - lots of preserved lemon and savory minerals, with a bit of cream. — 4 years ago
