SAKURA DAIGINJO SAKE Japan |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
OKUNOMATSU |
Clear and colourless. Attractive, intense, gently spicy, honeyed, floral, warm rice aromas. Fairly dry, medium-light to light bodied harmonious, slightly spicy, melon-apple-plum-rice flavours with a lingering, crisp finish. Has 15.4% alcohol and now only 19 g/L residual sugar with lot number 17.11AABA on the back label. Very nice but pricey! Last appeared in Vintages (***) on October 31, 2015 at $16.95 and was Recommended. |

TASTING NOTE: Clear. Aromas of vanilla nut brittle, coconut water, and papaya custard with a silky, dry-yet-fruity light-to- medium body and a pineapple sorbet, meringue, and salted radish accented finish. A soft, alluring sake with a nice balance of fruit. Score - 90 (tastings.com, July 11, 2013) |
