Spicy, tannic and slightly acidic medium body Georgian red. It’s almost carbonic with notes of cherry, plum and clove — paired with jamon iberico — 9 months ago
By the glass with lunch, no formal notes. First time ever trying Khikhvi and I can imagine this is how wine was made 1000 years ago. Obviously extended skin contact with a copper salmon color. Funky fresh nose and complex on the palate with all sorts of interesting fruit and non-fruit things going on. Acid and tannin providing good structure. Certainly a change of pace and quite enjoyable actually. — 6 years ago

At first glance this exhibits a lot of characteristics like cabernet. Medium to full bodied. Deep red to rose colored hues, with a fruit heavy nose of dark red fruits… but this is its own animal. Dig a little deeper on the nose and you get sharpie marker, much more floral than a cab, with none of the wood and notes of green pepper, a slight menthol freshness, and fresh cut grass beginning to peek forth. The tannins took a while to emerge, but when they did they felt like the hit all angles, never too much but just enough. The palate after some serious decanting has prominent notes of beef jerky, iron, smokey bbq, jammy plums, cranberry, black olives and maybe even soy sauce with serious energy, bramble and a hint of tar. The finish is long and fresh, with a lot of energy, and when paired with a perfectly marbled ribeye it SINGS. Bought in Berlin, absolutely worth it. — a month ago

juicy red fruit, a little funk, dry earthy finish — 7 months ago
This is a great semi-sweet Georgian wine. And not too sweet. Thank goodness. Big fruits, and tannic. — 9 months 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. — 7 years ago

"Odedi"
Inky/purple in color with a short purple rim.
Strong fruity nose of black currants, cooked plums, light cherries, earth, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee, herbs, peppercorn and light vegetables.
Full bodied and bold with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, plums, red cherries, light oak, chocolates, herbs, earth, black tea and peppercorn.
Short finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty red wine from Georgia. Fruit forward, complex and extracted. Thick and chewy, tangy and entertaining.
This 5 year old Saperavi is good right out of the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years. Has good potential to become a 92 point wine.
Good by itself and better with food.
100% Saperavi grapes were hand picked and aged in Qvevri.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
