Fine de Bourgogne 1986

You know about Fine de Bourgogne from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, right? This spirit, distilled from Burgundy's Pinot Noir, carries the iconic DRC name, making it feel special the moment you open it. The 1986 vintage captures that year's essence in every drop.

In volume 17 of 'Drops of God', there's a scene where Andy takes this Fine on a mountain expedition. It's praised for having a grape aroma that's like bottling the vineyard itself. Even in the manga, it's portrayed as something quite remarkable.

Pour yourself a glass and check out that color—it's got a bit of a brick hue, showing its age. The aroma is complex and deep, with hints of dried herbs and tea swirling around, and there's a dried plum fruitiness that pops out. Just a sniff and you're off on a little adventure in Burgundy.

When you taste it, it's got a smooth texture and the acidity is gentle and well-integrated. You won't find much tannin here, but the warmth of the alcohol gives it a solid backbone. The finish is long, letting you savor the rich nature of Burgundy in a single glass. It's the kind of thing that'll really elevate a quiet moment.
