100% saperavi. Medium plus body. Good acidity. Long finish of black fruits, plums. Maybe some mint on the end. — 2 years ago
French style label. Apparently made in clay in the ground. Smells of herbs and grape must. Hints of woodsy stuff. Hot day in the woods. Flavors are nice. Grippy and dry. Lots of berry stuff. Richer and denser flavors of the wine than expected once you smell it. — 3 years ago
100% Rkatsiteli from vineyards at 1250m elevation in the village of Vachnadziani, within the Mukuzani appellation in Kakheti (southeastern Georgia). Fermented in stainless with skins for 5 months. Medium amber color, slightly cloudy. Aromas of citrus, apricot, and some earthy notes. Fresh, very dry and tasty. Zesty acidity. Mineral, saline finish. — 5 years ago

2017. I waited a day for @Delectable Wine to correctly identify the wine as Vine Ponto, Mukuzani, Reserve Selection, Kakheti. We really liked the dark black fruits and smooth tannins which paired great with the Black Lime Marinated Beef Short Ribs from the hearth. — 3 years ago

This wine is a truly enjoyable experience. This wine is deep and complex, rich and velvety, with notes of deep, dark fruit and a sweetness that is non offensive and almost port like. This wine is perfect for a spicy steak dinner or curling up in front of a fire on a cool night — 6 years ago
A nice easy to drink full, dry red from Georgia. Canilla notes, chesnut and cherries, but controlled. — 7 years ago

Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of red and black fruit with touches of forest floor, mushroom, leather and rose petals. Bright red cherry, raspberry and cranberry fruit on the palate with additional notes of tobacco, fresh herbs and wet stone. Medium body with a medium-plus dry finish and tannins. Quite concentrated and plush but very elegant at the same time. Wonderful surprise. — 2 years ago

Aragveli Mukuzani. Askaneli brothers. Kakhety Saperavi. Очень напоминает молдавский Саперави Vinuri De Comrat. Чуть позже устрою обоим очную ставку ;). В вишлист добавлю сразу.
Чуть позже показания давали уже три свидетеля: кроме упомянутых выше, участие принят Telavi Valley Saperavi ООО "Цинандальский старый винный погреб".
Выводов несколько, включая очевидные. Мне, как дилетанту, не должно быть стыдно.
Так вот, сабж действительно сильно напомнил (мне) Гагаузский Саперави, однако, дуб в букете другой, а во вкусе его, как будто, меньше. Кислотность повыше. В остальном - как братья. — 6 years ago
