A nose of ripe fruits with subtle lactic hints reminiscent of blue cheese. It is a relatively light entry (at least by Tamagawa's standards), featuring aromas of overripe fruits, a fine texture, and a medium body. The mouthfeel is refreshing, with crisp acidity. A slight fruity sweetness is well-balanced by an underlying earthy bitterness. The long finish retains some acidity but gradually fades into rich aromas of chocolate and cocoa. Brilliant! We had tried the regular Man-Eating Rock before, but the nama version introduces additional layers of exciting flavours.
