2016 vintage. Light/delicate body but plenty of color that brings a requisite amount of punch. Nose a little hot. Big-time Baskin Robbins mint chocolate chip ice cream flavor dancing throughout the palate. Elegant, lengthy finish with the dancer adding a partnering hint of dill. — 3 years ago
This is Mt. Veeder, Napa- my favorite v. Sat. Wine. Concrete egg ferment and age, hence the name. Mineral and a background of petrol and roses that will reveal with age. — 9 months ago
Well balanced wine! With a good tanines and soft, it's combine well with a hamburger too. Approved! — 3 years ago
A gentle full bodied red with no bitterness and not even very dry imo- pretty neutral. Very much a good table wine with blackberry and cherry overtones and a slight chocolate/ spice finish. Goes very well with dark chocolate — 8 days ago
Sweet, nice spices. Slight dryness but not much. Pleasant, berry aftertaste. Very aromatic, maybe too much. Nice pairing with an earthy or savory meal. — 3 years ago

Izumibashi Black Dragonfly “Kurotonbo” Kimoto Junmai. This is Kimoto style sake which if I understand correctly refers to how they prepare the Koji mold. Color has a slight yellow tint, less than straw-like. I get almost nothing on the nose. The weight is slightly heavier than water and I’m guessing +2 but I don’t have this calibrated yet. Slight bitterness on the palate as it warms, was what I would call sweet initially. Finish lingers for a long time. Will be interesting to hear the pro comments. Not sure on the rice. — 12 days ago
