Had this bottle on Monday night (31/03/2014) for
my sister birthday at Nobu, One and Only Cape Town, reason of choosing a red
wine with Japanese influence food was simply because there was no white wine
drinker at the table!!
A gamble? Not really, since the Grand Classique
was 4+ years of age, the tannin's have soften, it worked surprisingly well and was in fact very supple
certainly aided by the umami flavors and did not clash with the soy sauce, a must try indeed.
