- Appearance scene
- During the Medoc Marathon, they drank a wine that doesn't have an overly strong aroma, but it's not cloying or artificial, with a refined and elegant scent. It's more masculine than a real man, yet expresses the delicacy and kindness of a woman, like the all-female Takarazuka stage.

Tasting notes
Hey, you should try this 2000 Château Pontet-Canet. It’s from one of those legendary Bordeaux estates, showcasing primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This particular bottle boasts an elegance that’s unique to Bordeaux, reflecting its rich history and meticulous crafting.
In 'The Drops of God' Volume 24, this wine made a memorable appearance during the Médoc Marathon. Its aroma isn't overly flamboyant, yet it leaves a lasting impression, much like watching a Takarazuka performance—where masculine strength and feminine delicacy intertwine beautifully.
Pour it into a glass and you’ll notice its deep garnet hue. The nose is subtle but unfolds slowly with hints of cassis and blackberry, creating a comforting backdrop. On the palate, you get a soft fruitiness first, followed by a lively acidity that’s just right. The tannins are velvety, and the finish lingers long, making you want to sip it again. That balance, you know, that's what makes it so irresistible.
Serve it slightly below room temperature in a medium-sized glass to savor its depth. It’s a wine that invites you to take your time with it.
