BLACK QUEEN/TANA/MENCIA 2023 Barrel Aged (Red)

Here is a Nagano-born red wine, a blend of KUSUNOKI winery's BLACK QUEEN, released for the first time since 2016, now combined with Tana and Mencia, grapes gaining attention in Japan in recent years, and aged in just a single barrel. This dry, full-bodied wine is a blend of 77% BLACK QUEEN, 15% Tana, and 8% Mencia, with an alcohol content of 12% and a volume of 750ml.

This wine uniquely showcases the vibrant acidity characteristic of BLACK QUEEN, which has been rounded through aging, while Tana and Mencia add complexity to the palate. This particular bottling garnered significant interest for its rarity at a tasting event held in France.

As you enjoy a quiet evening, why not contemplate this exceptionally rare, single-barrel aged red wine, released for the first time in years since 2016?
