May 12, 2015 - Two bitter old gentlemen become gentle (Restaurant TANI, Tokyo): Upon opening:
Nose: Amazing aroma that is enormous and enticing. Brown bananas and brown apples galore with a distinct feeling of a wet autumnal day. Soot, smoke, wet cement and no sight of violets. Still very young but not without interest.
Palate: Intense, elegant and powerful M-bodied, super fit martial artist. Mouth-coating with M+++ tannins. Fruit and M++ acids cooperating perfectly. Some rubbery aromas in the aftermath. Long and VERY satisfying.
Still pre-window according to our books, but DARN delicious.
It was tonight's best wine and at the restaurant had lost the mushy fruit aromas and steadied its autumnal expressions. Fabulous.
Four btls to go. Next one is post-2020 (if I can muster up some self-discipline).
