Qvevri Amber Dry Rkatsiteli 2015

First Georgian wine, first orange wine, I'm in uncharted territories here 😊. Spoiler alert : I like it very much.

I have issues describing the nose as it's completely new to me : there is a bit of honey, a bit of menthol or petrol, some white flower notes too and a tiny touch of apricot. Wow
Here comes a palate with tannins 😮 a strong acid drive, a good width with matter and a nice thickness, honey and apricot and then that huge spherical mid palate where tannins kick in with a drying thing which creates some asperity and triggers a never-ending finish with that dry mouthfeel and the same honey, apricot touches.
I usually associate honey and apricot touches to sweet wines or some chenin crus. This is very dry, but with a weight and a nice presence. I'm a bit late on the trend but I'll look into orange wines some more (and Georgian wines too)

@Daniel Maquin Certainly sounds like an Orange wine from your excellent tasting notes. Probably extended skin contact in an amphora.

@Bob McDonald thank you sir. After careful checking this is what the second label says indeed.

Sweet, but not too sweet. So drinkable, it goes down like port. Nice kick of tannin at the back. Nom! We converted one of our (formerly) red-wine-hating friends with this. Bought at Table Wine. — 8 years ago

Kondoli Vineyards Marani Saperavi 2017

A quite nice wine from Georgia - relatively limited experience with these wines, but clearly a strong winemaking tradition. Nice and inky dark in the glass, with lots of dark berry fruit. Medium bodied with medium minus tannins and good acid on the finish. For the price - and with Georgian food in Brighton Beach - a nice wine for sure. — 6 years ago

Saperavi Bouquet 2017

Гранат, вишневый сок, красная слива, свекла, окисленное яблоко, железо, кровь, каучук, тертый лист, специи. Средне-полное тело, мягкое и дружелюбное, но с хорошей кислотностью и аккуратными танинами. Ярко, насыщенно и энергично, при этом сочно и нетяжело, с живым фруктовым ядром, небанально. Вначале чуть броско и прямолинейно, чуть позже убеждает своей оригинальностью и витальной харизмой. — 7 years ago

Dry Tsolikouri 2016

On the nose there’s dried fruit & honey, yet the palate offers completely different notes of saline & savory flavors. There’s definitely texture, but the tannins are well integrated resulting in an entirely different mouthfeel than most skin contact whites. Would make for an outstanding pairing with a myriad of foods! — 8 years ago
