  Celebrating National Foundation Day w/sweet Condrieu (Restaurant Tani in Gaienmae (Tokyo)): With humble gratitude, I enjoyed this magnificent offering. This is still just a baby. Maybe an old baby, but still a baby it is. Should be kept resting for at least another 30 years. Tonight's best sweet performance. (Beats 'Ballroom Blitz' with more than quality.)
  
  Rich, enticing, semi-sweet and amazingly balanced Grenache experience that is both breath taking and awesome. Nose screams of youthful grapes and colour is with only the slightest hint of beginning maturity.
  In the mouth, it sits tight with some M tannins and M acids. The fruit is rich, opulent and raspberry-oriented with Grenache everywhere. Slight Et-OH heat that is very well integrated in the semi-sweet equation.
  Wife: happy!
  Married the cheese plate (for dessert, my glass was empty.)
  At amazing Restaurant Tani (Tokyo) with some very good friends and their families.
