In the manga, this wine appears in Vol. 33 as the bottle Ichisei left behind. It's intriguing to imagine the significance it holds within the story. Surely, Ichisei chose this wine for a reason that's revealed in its rich layers and flavors.

Pouring it into a glass, you'll notice a beautiful golden hue with a touch of amber around the rim, showing the passage of time. The aroma bursts with ripe pear and apricot, reminiscent of a tropical fruit basket. Beneath these fruit aromas, there's a hint of vanilla and toast, adding depth from its aging process.

On the palate, it's round and full-bodied. The fruitiness spreads generously, with a smooth acidity that keeps it balanced. The finish is long, leaving a toasty aroma lingering. From the first sip to the last, this wine mirrors the serene beauty of a Californian night sky.
