Community Tasting Notes (7) Avg Score: 92.4 points

  • Served into ISO tasting glass (“Root” day): Pale golden to the eyes.

    Mellow and soft touch yet highly precise and beautiful acidity, good minerality. Ripe stone fruits like apricots with high definition.

    Amazing wine here. 94 points easy.

  • Second bottle from a four bottle lot purchased from the Dutch importer in 2023. A beautifully crafted wine. Succulent but fresh fruit, impeccable balance, elegant weight, energetic and pure, seamless texture, hint of earth, very good length. Tempted to add another point.

  • Totally agree with the previous note- I’m not sure I’d call Riesling if blinded on this wine. To my palate, it is more Alsace than anything else. Clean and pure as the driven snow, with lovely river stone minerals. The attack is very subtle, not a lot of energy in the tip of your tongue, and then it builds volume as it cascades over the palate, where you begin to sense a little honey, ginger, and the faintest bit of petrol. I would have probably guessed pinot gris. This wine is especially delicate, quite unique, and ultimately tastes great. A change up or late breaking curveball to borrow a baseball analogy.

  • Not sure I'd blind this as Riesling. There's a floral tropical fruit thing going on that could confuse this as many other grape varieties.

    I actually get a lot of lemon-lime soda on the nose but sorta like when you open a can of Sprite but leave it out for several hours.

    Palate is round, generous, and perfect for food. Touch of Thai spices on the finish. Lovely stuff; have been impressed with all of Jintaro's wines. 92-93.

  • The wine opens up with classic Riesling fruit: apple, pear, some lime. Some residual sugar is noticeable, but very well balanced with the razor sharp acidity. You can tell by the toasty notes that the wine has spent quite some time on the lees. The oak use gives the wine a nice density on the mid pallet. Nice finish. When the wine warms up it gains body and changes a lot.
