Score : 82 by MoIppai (06/05/2011)

This is one of a set of 3 wines from Kobe Winery to coincide with the annual Kobe Luminarie (the other two are white and rose wines).

The Kobe Luminarie is held every year in December in Kobe to commemorate the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995 where over 6000 people tragically died.

The Luminarie is a beautiful light festival in downtown Kobe, and about 3-5 million people visit it each year for the two weeks it runs.

The Kobe Luminarie wine on the other hand isn't so good.
It has a light nose and is really dry and tannic on the palate.

It also has a vegetal taste to it, more than a fruity one.

Overall it's ok, but not really that good. Nice label though.
