Qvevri Amber Dry Rkatsiteli

Prior 2 notes still apply. There is wax, honey, caramel on the nose. Very nice palate with strong acid, a bit of caramel, a spherical mid palate with that tannins layer, and a long finish with caramel and that drying effect. It's great. Maybe a bit too cold. I like that!

Prior notes apply. Second time visiting this and the pleasure is still very much there. That waxy nose with honey and pine. The palate is very dry with a perfect balance, a good acid drive, some matter on the sides, a good grip, honey waxy notes, tannins which lay a drying layer in the end. A wine to drink and think.

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)
