Eight years in my cellar. Big boy wine. Needs 90 minutes in the decanter. Inky. World class wine. 15.5% but no problem, wears it well. Complexity off the charts. Every sip was different. Coffee, smoke, blueberry, Peppercorns, gorgeous acid. Fine tannins. Youthful at 12 years. — 2 months ago
Whoa. Big Toro. Down Toro. Great on open. Held up for over an hour but now getting flabby. Expected. It’s a big boy with a lot of power and not enough tannins ti keep it together. But I like. #psa #drinkfast — 3 years ago
From Yamagata, Japan.
Daiginjo…46 % milling rate…(senmai buai)
Bright water white clear in colour.
Nose of bright cantaloupe musk melon.
Flavours of yellow Asian pear, quince and persimmon…(kaki)
This nihon shu is dry but the most impressive feature is the all encompassing creaminess and mouthfeel.
We had local Albacore tuna sashimi with local Matsutake mushrooms cooked in rice from Hokkaido, Japan. — 2 months ago

Lighter tannins, and softer. But boy does it pack a nose! Dark cherries, figs, leather and wood. Nice long fruity finish. — 2 years ago
Nice, dry. Unoriginal but pleasant enough. Wouldn’t complain if I was served it, but wouldn’t seek it out. Purchased via Naked. — 4 years ago
