Bottle pour from 720mL bottle, shipped date Sep 2023.
Is this PX???!
Is this PX?! So rich and raisiny with earth, mineral, moss, and tons of acidity that separates it from your average sherry or sake. Salinity is high. Soft, rich, good acidity and and attenuated. Olive brine, more sherry and just unreal stuff.

Bottle at home ... see also http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fg20080530d2.html for sakery (sp?) reference ... clear with the barest yellow tinge ... soft mellow floral rice ... rich ... deep wonderfully complex nose ... soft sweet ... little alcohol in the linger ... almost an alcohol burn ... but a nice back bone to again a rich complex is mellow flavour ... this is almost the quintessential sake for some reason in my mind...
