The last tasting was for Bordeaux
Red of 1997, held at the Restaurant Budo-ya located in
OAG House - the German Cultural Institute for the first
time.
We have explored Bordeaux focused to 1997 vintage. We
selected 1997 because they are much more reasonably
priced and still have the essence that makes Bordeaux
wines the world standard.
Haut-Brion and Palmer were so beautiful that quite a lot
of people actually spotted them. Beychevelle and
Pichon-Longeville Baron were not so bad but came after
chile wine. San Pedro must be a good buy then.
Ch. Haut-Brion was our first and its second wine was our
last for the night. Bahans should have treated better but
was not just good enough comparing to others.
The wine tonight were selected by Shoichi san, who had
also contributed Providence Magnum for dinner. I do
remember he bought this one directly from the winemaker
on the last december and it does even have winemaker's
signature on the label.
The dinner came 5 dishes. Appetizer, soup, main corse,
cheese, and desert. They were very good but I missed
couple of shots so I only have two pictures shown below.
I will be more careful about this. And thank you to the
restaurent for letting us have tonight tasting.
