Tokyo Offline Group Inaugural (French Mixed Bag) (Cuisine 219): Already taking on a little lightness at the edge, but dense in the middle. Initial nose and palate scream strawberry -- very atypical. After a little time (and some necessary chilling), the aggressive strawberry turns to a subtle framboise that is pleasing. Seemed a little simple and loose at first, but cooling brought out the acid -- and a lot of balance and interest. A good lighter, easier drinking, more elegant Gevrey. Only a hint of the Gevery earth. I thought it lacked a little locality. Probably still a little dumb and definitely served a little warm. Don't think the sample did it justice. Meadows thinks this producer shows nice elegance and terrior focus. I got the former, but not the latter. Would be interested to try again. (Thanks hawk and Nicole)

Strawberries, red juicy currants and jam on the nose. Jammy, sour cherries, and raspberries. Fresh and tangy fruit acidity.
