Another classic example of Georgia’s, from a great year in this district, still grown totally under organic conditions (no artificial chemicals). Typical deep crimson colour. Sweet ripe red berries over an underlying complex spiciness. Lots of extract and viscosity. Plenty of tannin, but still quite accessible now, which is a characteristic of Georgia’s. 14% alcohol. Cellar potential 10 years at least, but delicious now.

Deep colour. Fresh dark chocolate/ menthol aromas with some graphite notes. Fresh, sweet concentrated dark chocolate/ menthol flavours with dry dense lacy tannins and underlying savoury characters.

Medium deep crimson. Developed redcurrant, sage, walnut aromas and flavours with some cracked pepper notes. Developed but linear palate with redcurrant, walnut, eucalypt, mint flavours and hard sinewy tannins. Finishes leafy earthy and tight. Will last but won't improve. Now -2020 - 86 points
