Mad Scientist Late Bloomer

CELLAR MASTER NOTES

改善 /kʌɪˈzɛn/ Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement

It’s scary how time flies, one day you fill your first barrel and kaboom, 40 months pass by. If we look at it less dramatically, Oloroso is a slow barrel, you need the patience to have its taste fully showcased, but worth the waiting. Raisins, nuts and chocolate are the main characteristics while it’s quite strong in tannins, too. The best part is that we managed to get some Tokaji aszú grapes, a unique Hungarian terroir variety, infected with botrytis fungi, harvested late, that provides an incredible taste. We aged them in the barrel and now you can witness the magic of patience too…
