- The wine Fujieda gave to Shizuku; reminiscent of Dvořák's 'Slavonic Dances', played with piano, double cello, and viola, it seems bright and powerful yet is deeply poignant, sensual, and nostalgic like a sweet, irretrievable past.

Tasting notes
Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru by Denis Mortet is a pure Pinot Noir wine from Burgundy. Known for its powerful and complex profile, this 2004 vintage showcases its full potential after years of aging.
In volume 32 of 'Drops of God', Fujieda shares this wine with Shizuku, with the backdrop of Dvořák's 'Slavonic Dances' playing—imagine the piano, two cellos, and a viola creating a masterpiece. The wine feels bright and vibrant, yet deeply sensual and melancholic, like a sweet memory of a past you can't quite grasp.
The color is a deep ruby, with hints of brick at the rim. The nose is open, with aromas of ripe raspberries, violets, and nuances of black tea and forest floor. On the palate, it opens with a soft fruitiness, followed by a lively acidity. The tannins are silky, offering a smooth texture.
The balance is remarkable, with a long finish that leaves a complex and elegant impression. This is a wine best enjoyed slowly, allowing its flavors to deepen with time.
