Tsuru Ume

Louis Latour

Domaine de Valmoissine Pinot Noir 2023

Raisin tight enough; no character yet.
20 minutes later: Ooh light cherry cola! Had it with my weirdly chocolate tasting homemade soba. I guess seaweed, tsuru no moto, tamari, egg, sesame oil caramelize in the mouth and make this wine like a trip to 7-Eleven in 1986. Me likie.

Trarbacher Huhnerberg Spätlese* Feinherb Mosel Riesling 2018

This is showing so nicely, with a robust perfume of stone fruit, jasmine, ripe citrus and peach blossom, leading in to a pleasing just off-dry palate that is thick, stony, and delicately tannic. Mirabelle plum and even an exotic note of ume plum carry through to the back end. Fantastic. — 3 years ago
