TOKYO WINE SOCIETY TASTING
Rhone Reds
March 14, 2003
|
The
last tasting of The Tokyo Wine Society was held at the
restaurent Bon Chere, Shampia Hotel Akasaka with wine
from Rhone. We drunk Cote Rotie, Hermitage,
Cheteauneuf-du-Pape, and the new style VinDePays in
Rhone. We have enjoyed flowerly nose to celebrate the
spring has come. One bottle of Cuvee MYTHIQUE was
obviously corked so that the result might not represent
its true performance. The winner tonight was Chapoutier
production of Syrah in the new world. But ranking might
be different if Ch.d-Ampuis and La Sizeranne had enough
time to pick up. We have also announced about TWS 100th tasting and are planning to form the executive committee to discuss about it. |
