Pear and almond nose, apricot and meringue on that long, rind-y palate.
Really enjoyed this after it opened up over 15 min or so.

Interesting wine...nutty, honeyed nose with plenty of tannin in the finish.

Very good qvevri wine. Carries its oxidation well, still comes across as fresh. Pleasingly bitter in the finish. Thanks to DC and Lisa for the kind (and much appreciated!) gift.
