Thursday, October 29, 2020 - La Rochelle Aoyama FTW (Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan): Started out thin from the plopp. Grew tremendously over the 3 hours we enjoyed it. Contrary to fruitlovers, I'm sure this is but a padawan who will evolve further and become one of the wines that remains awesome also as an advanced wine.

Great aromatics, stunning personality and requires listening to rather than expecting to be served a phat fruit punch in the face.

Some prefer young pop stars, others (like me) prefer old, quirky professors because they have so much more amazing stories to share.

Wish I had more!
Cork was mushy, crumbled completely and required the whole toolbox to get out of the bottle.

BYOB to formidable La Rochelle Aoyama (Tokyo).
