  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    In the 2023 vintage, yeast and white miso comes imbued with citrus and russet pear peel on the nose. The palate brings on the full savoriness of that yeasty core on a surprisingly light-footed body. This is all texture and fluidity with a salty, peppery savor. The finish tapers back to lemon and has a lasting echo of pepper. The 2023 is slender for a smaragd, yet really concentrated. (Anne Krebiehl MW - Vinous, 5/2024)
