Community Tasting Note

Bakka Likes this wine:

Wednesday, July 18, 2018 - Partly agree with previous comments. Can find a bit of pear, citrus, touch of lanolin. A very nice Koshu wine, and impressive QPR. Tasted alongside Grace Koshu Kayagatake, which apparently is a “village” wine, and cost 200 Yen more (2000 vs 1800 Yen in Japan). The wines were both balanced and fresh, but cannot tell whether one is worth more than the other. Super wine with Japanese seafood. Comparison with Hunter Valley Semillon makes more sense to me than European wines, though Koshu is inherently a Japanese variety. Grace seems to improve every year. A clear front runner in Japanese fine wine. Agree that it would be very interesting to see if this wine develops further with aging.
