The vessel definitely plays a good role, the dry leaf is not as fragrant as the 2015 but the total flavor is nicer. The wet leafs and the smell of the lid is also not as fragrant.
Dry aroma: fermented fruit with a hint of wet wood
Wet aroma: sweet fermented fruit hint of raisins, less sour unlike the 2015 shoumei
Taste: sweeter and stronger than the shoumei 2011 on suji, with a particular red dates flavor
Mouthfeel: bolder, more velety
Finish: good coat on the tongue but not as sweet as ethe 2011
