Tasting notes

Château Margaux is a legendary estate in Bordeaux, known for its elegant blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This 1970 vintage is like holding a piece of history in your hand. Opening it feels like unveiling a treasure that's been waiting for decades.

This wine makes its appearance in 'The Drops of God' Volume 7, gifted by Shizuku Kanzaki to Issei Tomine. It's described as a wine that marks a queen's death, highlighting its historical significance and the deep sentiments tied to it.

Pour a glass and you'll see a deep garnet color with a hint of brick at the rim. On the nose, rich aromas of aged blackcurrant and black cherry greet you, with nuances of tea leaves and subtle forest floor emerging as it breathes. It's like being surrounded by the wisdom of old books.

When you take a sip, it reveals a robust structure, yet the tannins are velvety smooth, held together by a refined acidity. The finish is long, with layers of spice and pepper that unfold gently. Drinking this isn't just about the taste; it's about savoring a timeless story captured in a bottle.
