Sherry/ Oak draws you in on the nose Very tasty - fruity, sherry influence a plus Finish flawless Have a few bottles bunkered from a few years ago & do not remember last time i drank this. A friend gave me a sample and have to say VERY PLEASENTLY SURPRISED!!!!! I am definitely going to open a bottle as sadly out of 100 or so open bottles, I do not believe 1 is Japanese??????? Cheers
