2022/5/6 with Japanese style bincho charcoal grilled ribeye with wasabi and shoyu, shishito peppers, bamboo shoots in dashi and rice with peas. I found this at a shop and the aging conditions seemed questionable, so I was prepared for whatever. Indeed, at first the nose seemed a little browned out, but the palate still had acidity and flesh - blueberry at first. With a couple of hours of air, though, the nose brightened up, with dark berries. There’s also green pepper and smoky herbs - an interesting angle on Japanese claret. — 2 years ago

Upon opening the bottle there was lots of smoke. Kind of obnoxious. That goes away after half an hour and you really start to get that red cherry fruit. Light color with some cloudiness. It’s growing on me. — 3 years ago

A nice and mineral start... The fruity tartness comes through in the end. — 8 years ago

I found very nice non-smoking Yakitori-bar in Nishi-Koyama. We can enjoy craft beer and Nihonshu:-) — 7 years ago

Fragile nose in the beginning, but boy is the body fun: fruity and light, rippling with red berries, currents and woody elements. The 2013 is fun and fresh, opening well after it breathes for a spell; might age for a few years and see what the result is. — 9 years ago
