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) — 5 years ago

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

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

Very good cab but on the sweeter side. The sweet element resides once this opens up w/ some time — 6 years ago

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! — 7 years ago

If I got a bottle tasting like this in the States for $12 I would order it every night. Absolutely quaffable and great at balancing the salty creaminess of khachapuri. — 9 years ago

Sparkling erbaluce from alto Piemonte. Lovely citrus nose. Tremendous right fruit - such great fruit you’d think it has dosage even thought It doesn’t. Springy minerality. Alive on the palate. Great juiciness. Some nice richness. Wow. Great wine. Bought from fass selections. — 6 years ago

Really like it. Not acidic almost at all. A little apple juice-y and sweet which is nice. Valentine's day belated celebration. Tom bought it at the sketchy liquor store next to lucky 97. Says 92 points on wine enthusiast. Really simple label that just says Sergio so I took a pic of the back. — 10 years ago
