Arigato! Great Japanese wine. Guessing mostly merlot. Medium bodied w/ light tannins. Fruity, dusty, with herbal hints of seaweed ( or could be the salty Osaka air).

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.
