Tasting notes

Appearance: Pale, brilliant gold Nose: Notes of fermented rice and soya sauce, enhanced by toasty hints. Palate: The attack, intense and slightly sweet, develops flavours of toasted sesame and a depth of umami. The round, enveloping texture remains pleasant, although the mid-palate could be a little more defined. The finish, which is quite long, leaves a slightly pronounced alcoholic warmth. Overall impression: A round and expressive wine, with toasty and umami notes, though the alcohol would benefit from being better integrated.
