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.

Gorgeous nose of alpine strawberries & orange blossoms astringent palate with great Intensity, acid and focus...a nice element of oxidation peeks through and adds an interesting edge...

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.
