The wine of the night! Head to head with five other high end 2005 Cabernet Sauvignons! Absolutely beautiful expression of CS. Went with everything we ate and was the clear winner in a blind tasting with Chateau Montelena, Robert Mondavi Oakville (finished second), Regusci Angelo's Vineyard, Beringer Private Reserve, and Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste. Not too often that a group can taste this many wines blind and choose a clear winner! Way to go David Ramey, again!! — 10 years ago
Baked apple, cinnamon, graham cracker, wild mushroom, pink salt, graphite. Very expressive, Elegant, complex, well-aged. Silky on palate, delicate finish. Great example of well-made Burgundy. — 10 years ago

Nez plutot discret malgré l'ouverture de la bouteille une heure avant. En bouche, c'est beaucoup plus attrayant, sur le fruit et les fleurs mais n'affiche pas encore toute la complexité souhaitée. Tres bonne longueur. Sera meilleur dans 5-10 ans — 9 years ago
I visited Kenzo Estate with a group of friends and purchased Ai and Murasaki Cabernet Sauvignon after the tour and wine tasting. Asatsuyu was not available at that time. If you have not visited Kenzo Estate, I recommend everyone to do so to truly appreciate what they go through to make their wines. The estate is so beautiful it will blow you away. Kenzo Estate conducts wine event every year at the Halekulani Hotel which I attend and have bought cases of Asatsuyu, Aiko, and Murasaki set. You cannot purchase Kenzo wines at the wine stores. Some select restaurants carry them but the prices are extremely high due to difficulty in buying these wines. In Japan's high-end restaurants like Oak Door at Grand Hyatt in Roppongi, Kenzo wines like Ai and Murasaki were $900+. It's not every day wine but if you appreciate what went in to making these wine with the professionals Kenzo Tsujimura hired (Heide Barrett, Winemaker and David Abreu, Vinyard Manager), you know he hired the best in business to "create the greatest, most elegant wines."
Today is my birthday and celebrating this occasion with friend by sharing my Asatsuyu, Ai, and Murasaki. — 9 years ago

Wow. One of only 3 grand cru Corton Blanc produced in the world. This is special. Pineapple, dried mango, and Meyer lemon up front. The palate is broad and expansive; roasted nuts, petrol, mixed with citrus and earth. The finish goes on and on.... 2 minutes+ Dinner with the wine maker in early February. @David A Lentine you need to tag along and meet her! Thank you @ADAM STROMFELD for sharing this gem. — 9 years ago
