Aroma: Peach, Muscat grape, melon and soft banana.
Palate: Fresh and fruit-forward with a silky, moderately rich texture. Ripe peach and melon up front, followed by gentle rice umami and bright acidity. A touch of sweetness through the middle gives way to a bitter edge and a clean, crisp finish.
Notes: Polished and balanced. There’s enough fruit and sweetness to give it presence, but the acidity and bitterness keep it from becoming heavy. Classic Sharaku combination of expressive fruit, richness and a clean finish but this one has a strong bitterness that doesn’t fade cold or warmth and is distracting. — a day ago
