One could call this a cult wine. Took a while to come by this producer in Japan, but finally found it off-the-beaten track, in Hamamatsu. I reckon it needs time, super reductive on the nose and palate, finally revealed some fruit 2 hours in. Sour cherry and ume to me, sauvage, elegant for sure, heaps of acid. — 8 years ago

Trying not to let the uniqueness of this plum wine influence my tasting of it. It’s fragrant, sweet, tart, and refreshing. I didn’t expect this. — 10 years ago

Straya Day vino.
Fresh. Ume, peach, apricot, preserved orange peel, white flowers, and vanilla on the nose. Indian spices as it opens up. Carries over to the palate. Honey. Interesting peppery notes too. Long finish.
Delicious concentrated Sauternes. 2001's a good year I hear. Still needs time - long life ahead. My only issue is the acid. I feel it needs a tad bit more to balance out the sweetness. — 9 years ago
