甲州を樽で寝かせたという私的にはあまり響かない作り。
しかし、その重奏感というか奥行きの素晴らしさに圧巻。
果実の膨らみに程よい樽が広がって、甲州らしい酸がしっかり締める。 — 3 years ago
Found another lovely Japanese Sparkling ~ — 4 years ago
It had stored in the cellar of Chateau Mercian's Katsunuma winery for 10 years. So it was good condition and has beautiful ageing characters. It perfume well, very stractured body with yeasty and nutty nuance. also has very sharp mineral. — 5 years ago
Medium body with some smooth texture, zesty citrus — 6 months ago
Grown anywhere else, I would give this dry muscat a 8.5. But there is a subtle, forest stream like charm that comes through the tongue that I can't help to compare to many of the sakes that compare themselves to the mountain snow and springs from the same continent. I know I know, it must be a placebian effect right? I don't know- judge for yourself. — 3 years ago

Super light like Verdicchio, slight peach and white flower — 9 months ago
Thank god, success for koshu. Amber, peach, geraniums, and the usual citrus nose. This really makes up for the lack of depth and body in non mac koshu. It's still a light wine but there's an evolution from orange peel, peach, and softer floral flavours into a more chalky citrus finish. Its pretty awesome. We'll done mercian. — 4 years ago

Very nice. Light beginning, heavy mid to after. Feel tannins, full body and quite “round - smooth carved edges” impression but fruity easy to drink lightness that makes it sticky. Toward Merlot? 65% Petit Verdot, 24% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. Need to try again. — 2 months ago
