Appearance: Colourless, crystalline, brilliant Nose: A pronounced nose of soya sauce and toasted sesame, enhanced by a hint of tangy red berries. Palate: The attack is powerful and intense, revealing a pronounced umami flavour, underpinned by notes of rice and cereals and a hint of piquancy. The body is dense, supported by a distinct alcoholic warmth. The finish, with notes of toasted almond and a hint of tartness, fades away, leaving a silky, slightly astringent sensation. Overall impression: A powerful and complex blend, rich in umami, where roasted and cereal notes harmonise with a tangy liveliness, despite a pronounced alcoholic warmth.
