This is a delight and drinking gorgeously. Reminds me of sitting at a cafe in Tibilisi years ago. A good memory i’ve been chasing for almost a decade. Strong dark red color with dried cherries, leather, and chocolate on the nose. Structure is great, the tannins are not too intense and acidity is just right. Prunes and spice, a little earth. Rich. — 3 months ago

My first ever Georgian 🇬🇪 wine and I was not disappointed! Saperavi grapes from old vines bring a nose of red fruit (raspberries and sour red cherries), white peppercorn and forest floor. Palate: an explosion of plums and cherries 🍒 , hints of blueberries 🫐 with some spiciness and tobacco 🍃 from the oak 🪵. A grippy full bodied wine with massive potential to age. 100% recommend to let it breath for 30-45mins and pairs nicely with lamb 😄 — 3 years ago

I was blinded and thought it was a burgundy or Chablis, so surprised. Many types of orange, lemon, lime, chalk, pear, green apple, white chocolate, by far the best American SB I have ever had and up there with anything French. Well done! — 7 months ago

Semi sweet indeed!
Did not see that on the bottle.

Very soft wine with luscious blend of blueberry, dark cherry, clove, cinnamon, lots of sweetness, sugary.
Probably one of the smoothest saperavi’s I have had.

I aggressively disagree with the ratings for this wine. Deep purple in color. Graphite, plum, and green pepper on the nose. An initial hit of sweet and fruit on the palate that then finishes with medium tannins, a bit of oak, and a good earthiness on the finish. Pair with salty, rich food. — 3 years ago

Opaque red plum color, cherry and plum aromas. Spice and cherry flavors. Decant. Cherry with depth and cocoa emerge after a couple of hours. Healthy backbone of tannins here — a year ago

Wow! Briny Oysters and shellfish nose. Held the most brilliant tangerine color. Tannins registered on the tip of the tongue. — a year ago

A very rich, surprising red wine - reminiscent of a bold malbec. Paired perfectly with richly spiced meats. — 3 years ago

This is the Tibaani bottling.
On the nose there’s a wonderfully complex mix of treacle tart, apricot pastry, sticky toffee pudding, Manuka honey, warm terracotta pot, flapjack, gingerbread, yellow raisins and toasted almonds.
The palate shows spicy apricot, turmeric and gingerbread character, the tannins are sapid, firm but chalky and quite fine, certainly a wine that works best with food.
