In 3 words: Soft, fruity & mellow

Known as Black Dragonfly, this is a powerful, rich Junmaï Kimoto, with lightly smoky, cereal notes, as well as hints of citrus fruit and pineapple. The palate is dry and lactic, leading to a complex notes of dark chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, and baked apples. Layers of umami build to a lingering savoury and spicy finish reminiscent of black pepper. A superb introduction to the Kimoto style.
