Eight years in my cellar. Big boy wine. Needs 90 minutes in the decanter. Inky. World class wine. 15.5% but no problem, wears it well. Complexity off the charts. Every sip was different. Coffee, smoke, blueberry, Peppercorns, gorgeous acid. Fine tannins. Youthful at 12 years. — 2 months ago

From Yamagata, Japan.
Daiginjo…46 % milling rate…(senmai buai)
Bright water white clear in colour.
Nose of bright cantaloupe musk melon.
Flavours of yellow Asian pear, quince and persimmon…(kaki)
This nihon shu is dry but the most impressive feature is the all encompassing creaminess and mouthfeel.
We had local Albacore tuna sashimi with local Matsutake mushrooms cooked in rice from Hokkaido, Japan. — 2 months ago

Just brilliant. Took 1.5 hours but boy did this unfold. A brilliant wine. 1/3 germany, 1/3 oregon, 1/3 burgundy. Just a world class traveling Pinot Noir. The aromatics were 9.7-9.8. Wait 5 more years if you have some. — 2 years ago

It showed great tonight, one of the best Syrahs in a long time. So complex, so complete, so full of flavour and life, so enjoyable. With many more years ahead of it. Boy, was Jay Miller ever right about this wine. — 3 years ago

It took a while to figured out what sort of big boy this wine was. Pristine and so young. Still bright and perfectly composed. Incredible for a wine made for the first time. Such a real “fuoriclasse”. — 8 months ago

Lighter tannins, and softer. But boy does it pack a nose! Dark cherries, figs, leather and wood. Nice long fruity finish. — 2 years ago

Big and bold but polite. So very pleasant. All the plums, cherries you want with a side of vanilla. — 3 years ago
