So tasty. Reminds me of the grape flavoured sweets. Had it at Ester. — 2 years ago
Wonderful mix of barrel raised character, tense palate, racing acid and that mineral imprint many Aube wines have. Also found a real balance in the wine’s fruity ester character and the hint of aldehyde, adding savory dimension. Mix of crisp green apple/pear with a touch of bruised fruit mixed in, underripe strawberry, green banana, saline, fino sherry, chalk. 11/2018 disgorgement R16 — 5 years ago
I'm always so impressed with the saké scene in Malaysia. This is a bottle that I'd be hard-pressed to find listed in any Australian restaurant, and if any at all, none for a fair price I bet. Clearly great things are happening behind the scenes here, with Kuheiji's Eau Du Désir popping up on the shelves of my local grocery (I don't exactly live in the epicenter of Malaysia).
Straight out of the bottle, you get the impression that Kuheiji has just bottled a fresh unadulterated ferment. That tingly sensation of CO2 on the nose, before it gets hit by ester-heavy ferment aromas, with the light spritz on the palate, and zestiness in the finish - gosh, it really feels like a ferment. It's just so fresh and lively, as it should be with each vintage of the Eau Du Désir. Air brings more clarity to the flavors of juicy melons, apples, and interestingly, guava. There's a sweet almost malty-core here, which is balanced out by the crisp slightly-bitter finish. So easy to drink! — 3 years ago
