I forget where I picked up this little Languedoc wine, but it turned out to be a nice buy. Lovely rich berry nose and a smooth silky flavour, not uncommon in some new world wines. Very drinkable and would buy again.
Le Clos Goutines "Marie Delice" 2006
このワインは、どこで買ったか覚えてませんけれど、買ってよかった。バリベリーな香りし、スムーズな味で美味しかった。また見つけたら、ぜひ買います。
Recently back from Australia where I had the chance to visit a lovely little winery in the Adelaide Hills. The Lane is the realisation of a lifelong dream of winemaker John Edwards. All grapes are sourced from the winery’s own vineyards. Their slogan being “Grown in our backyard – Every berry.”
Lunch in the casual, yet stylish bistro was superb followed by wine tasting and tour of the modern winery with John’s wife Helen and Ben Tolstoshev. A great experience I recommend to do if you visit The Lane.
I just had to take some of The Lane’s wine back to Japan with me.
A couple of winery’s flagships:
Viognier 2007 (my favourite of the whites I tasted)
19th Meeting Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 (a lovely drop of Cab Sav with an old world feel)
Still cellared waiting for the right night to have a little Adelaide Hills class.
