I’ll be honest I bought this to blind my wine group and out of curiosity, as I never had a Japanese wine. Impressed how a wine with 10.5% alcohol can produce a very intense , fresh and flavorful wine. Strong herbal, saline and apple scents and flavors. A creamy texture along with some unresolved oak . I would guess this can age and hopefully resolve some of its oak. Needless to say when revealed people were very surprised.

bit yellow, light and smooth, price wise not cheap wine. But lovely choice.

洗練された樽香。バラなどの花の香りもある。温度がやや高め、やや緩んでいるが、酸味は美しい。アフターも嫌味がなく、すっと抜ける。
