Sake World 2024 Had to judge given it’s the same glass throughout the tasting but this was good. I think I might prefer green label but would need to retry. — a day ago

Amphora Rosso Merlot Blend 2019

Wow. Legit. A little fuzzy carbonic maceration, fruit forward but with a slight funk. Wish this bottle was easier to come by. — 2 years ago

Powdery, banana, melon, honey. Refreshingly light body. This really is the stuff. — 8 months ago

Tatenokawa

Junmai Daiginjo Dewasansan

Richer than the Seiryu and Karakuchi. Richly textured too, but has finesse. Enjoyable, but also prefer the Seiryu. — a year ago

Tatenokawa

Junmai

Drier. Nice acid. But quite ricey, not much fruit. Nice texture - has that nice mid palate weight. Umami with air. Very. Prefer the Seiryu. — a year ago

50 Junmai Daiginjo

Catching up on my notes before the end of the year. Tatenokawa Seiryu - a perennial favourite. Like a kabi. Sweetish, fruity, elegant. Would prefer more acid, but it’s so quaffable as it is. — a year ago

Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Very well made. Lighter than expected, notes of violet and ripe red fruit. Still very young for its age. — 3 years ago
