At second stop Kumano. Locally brewed. Fragrant nose with white flowers tropical fruit notes. Very enticing. Then they all dissolved into a clean but silky texture and smooth on the palate. Fine with French local cooking in Japan. Had two! — 10 days ago

Rich and warm, vegetal and bell peppers, red and black cherries. Balanced acid and tannins, medium body, all the aromas come through on the palate. Wines like this make me think I could enjoy a wine trip to Italy. — 3 months ago

Don’t when I got it and even less so when I got it but it is a damned good lunch wine. — 2 years ago

Happened on Sui in Kyoto serving Omakase 5/18/24. Wonderful inventive 11 course meal with flexible choices for pairing. Choose the 3 Japanese wines (!) and 3 sakes. Middle one between slightly sweet to very dry. Also in the middle for complexity and finish. — 13 days ago

This has a mean streak to it right now. The high acid lends its to a crisp Chablis but the mouthfeel and fruit tells you otherwise. Drinkable for sure right now but a bit of time would help ease this acid beast to how it should be drunk. — 2 months ago
