Tasting notes

So, this one's from Domaine de l'Arlot, you know? A pure Pinot Noir from the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru vineyards. In Burgundy, wines from this area are known for their fruitiness and elegance. The 2007 vintage especially showcases the allure of aging.

In Volume 32 of 'Drops of God', Shizuku and Miyabi choose this wine to reconcile the duo at Auberge de Duo. They say it's like a wine from Hakone—sounds perfect, doesn't it? Both red and white wines are crafted from the same vineyard, and you can feel the fresh fruit and classy poise. It's like the aura of beautiful museums and historic hotels.

When you pour it into a glass, it shows a somewhat aged brickish hue. The aroma? First, you've got this calm scent of raspberries and violets. Then, it shifts to hints of dried herbs and undergrowth. On the palate, the soft fruitiness stands out, with lively acidity that's pulling everything together. The tannins are velvety smooth.

The finish is long, with complex flavors lingering around. This wine gives off an elegant yet taut impression. I'd say it's perfect for a special dinner or a quiet, relaxed occasion. Give it a try!
