Only 200 dozen were produced of this Georgian variety.I don't often get the chance to see many Saperavi wines so when I was able to taste three alongside each other, I certainly took the opportunity.
Of the three, this didn't show well at all. It was jammy and porty. The palate was bulky, raisiny and hot. Cooked maybe a better term.
The fruit was warm in the mouth and lingered with a grippy drying tannin structure.
Not to my liking.
