It is a typically assertive and very fresh tasting young “Gan Cha.” It is typically Nannuo in that it is relatively mild but possesses a great amount of character. It yields a very nicely clear liquor with a green vegetable & grassy aroma. The mouthfeel is moderately thick and slightly mouth and throat coating. I really enjoy the hui gan (bittersweet aftertaste) that reveals itself rather slowly after finishing a cup.
