I like umeshu, but usually it is a little too cloyingly sweet for me. I like Choya's black sugar one.... This umeshu is fantastic. Probably my new favorite. It isn't as sweet, and the whiskey flavor creeps in after the plum starts to fade. Oishii! — 2 years ago
2015 vintage. This estate is owned these days by Grands Millésimes de France (also owner of Beychevelle), 50/50 owned by the big French Castel group and the Japanese Suntory. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Flirting with overripeness, but still with just enough acidity to keep the balance, this is a seductive crowdpleaser that lacks a bit of complexity. Abv. 14%. — 2 years ago
I find this amazing. Not sure why others have a low rating but I wish I could get their bottle. — 4 months ago

Enjoyed but did not love. It has a bitter finish which remains in all the cocktail variations I tried. It has a rough mouthfeel when alone. It’s a bit different but not my preferred style. — 2 months ago
