2003 bottle @ California Rollin in Rochester NY. Tried this a while ago (before sake was listed on the database). Chilled. Pours a glassy, lightly hazy pinkish-violet. Aroma of light alcohol, lots of fresh black raspberries, and some sharper rice notes. Flavor is surprisingly sweet, lightly syrupy and quite warming on the finish. Though this uses fresh Oregon raspberries, it still tastes a bit artificial, or maybe just more one-sided, not sure, but it was a bit too much for me. Would have liked to see more sake characteristics and less (more subtle) raspberry notes. Mouthfeel is lightly grainy, but thick right away when it is very chilled.
