Sakurao 2019

Tasting Notes

A vibrant interplay of crisp green apple and sweet white peach greets the nose, mingling with the aroma of freshly picked strawberries, stems and all. On the palate, almond flakes add a delicate nuttiness, followed by creamy butter notes and a whisper of gentle spice. This dram is strikingly gentle and refined for its age, leaving a lasting memory of soft, juicy fruits.
