Smooth, easy drinking. The nose is light with apple, floral notes, and subtle sweetness almost like a poundcake. Palate is soft, with a creamy texture. Delicate fruit, light spice, and a bit of sugar. Very short and gentle finish as well. Its got range but not a ton of complexity, which in this case is okay because it makes for a pleasant sipper. Worth noting I bought this at a grocery store in Kyoto for…not much. Probably around $40ish. Over there its considered a slightly above average classic, mostly drank by granddad. Come to find its being sold here in the US for well over $250 a bottle, and fair warning, its really not worth that kind of price. You cant get it easily, so the scarcity is all you’re paying for. But if you’re ever across the pacific, it’s definitely worth a try.
