Reviews
Highly spicy aromas of roasted barley, burdock, licorice, and clove. On the palate, toasty flavors spread widely, leading to a powerful, spice-accented finish.

Green-tinged yellow hue. Pure, fresh aromas of Meyer lemon, white peach, Muscat, and white rose. Bright acidity and pristine fruit create a poised, elegant palate with a sense of purity.
