Excellent acid that really drives the length on the red fruit in this wine. Yummy, if not incredibly complex

Beautiful orange wine. Tart, smokey, dry, and incredibly complex. Flavors of dried stone fruit and a little bit of honey.

Incredibly interesting if not a bit rustic and weird - I guess 12 years in Qveri will do that. Totally worth trying if you can hunt it down!!

Whoa. 12 years sealed. Butterscotch with an earthiness you won't see anywhere else. Pushing boundaries and I like it 👊🏻👍🏻👏🏻

sealed in clay for 11 years, pears and apples, but most of the fruit is gone, some mellow lactic bacteria going in the finish but pleasant. #georgian #wine #winetasting

Nose and palate reminiscent of grappa, minus the heat. But a bit straight forward for being in quevry for 12 years.

Wow- this is old! and yet it’s still fully intact. No longer bright or fruity, but resinous and saline; plum, Turkish delight, dark Turkish dried apricot, medium tannins, very slight acetone.
