This vintage has the saline structure of sake with a spectrum of aromas of caramel, baked pears, apple tart, warm leather, a hint of fennel, licorice and aniseed. The texture gives warmth to these aromas like a satin sheet. It is cozy and relaxed, walking on a crunchy shingle pathway through a flower garden on a summers afternoon, it dances across the palate leaving an umami saline sensation of deliciousness.
