I did not take notes as these wines were served over a casual lunch with the Tikal staff.

Better than Richie Vineyard? Not there yet but need to give that another try. Great aromatics and a finish that just keeps going and I know I'm drinking a white. Trying to figure out if it's what I ate or if there is a hint of smoke on this. Maybe just wishing for one. — 8 years ago

I'm still partial to the Ramey Richie but this is a very big wine that probably needed way more air and time that I gave it. Talk about a wine that needs a decant. Once it opened in the glass wonderful although it never had the nose I was hoping to go with it. I'm rating it higher than I did last time but must be getting old since I said I was going to hold these... not sure two months is considered holding? — 8 years ago

This honjozo, polished to 65%, reflects a clean pure style of sake, with white mountain flowers on the nose. It has a wonderful clean and soft silky texture. The cleansing acidity also provides good structure and there is a subtle fruitiness with hints of mango, peach and pineapple.

Sekiya Brewery producer of Black Dot 2015 was established in 1865 based in Kitashitara-gun is located in a mountain valley pass in the Japanese Alps between Nagoya and Nagano. For hundred of years the town was a waypoint and resting place for travelers between the two cities. Sekiya Brewery was established because of the clean water from the mountains and the thirsty travelers crossing the mountains. Now it is a state-of-the-art sake brewery with a tasting room and sake-focused restaurant built out of an ancient farmhouse in town as well.
