Echigo Denemon Junmai Dai Ginjyo 越後伝衛門純米大吟醸

I was so happy to find this bottle in the back of the wine fridge.  Bought a few about 3 years ago and thought I had drunk them all.  This got to be one my of favourite amongst sakes available here one time or another.  It is dry but not thin or sharp, plenty of rice, fruit and floral fragrance. The mouth feel is full but nowhere near heavy.  The tail is long and smooth with sweet rice and peaches carrying through.  It is open and generous, nothing boring or austere about it, very gregarious and happy.  Too bad this is the last bottle.
