Community Tasting Note

January 16, 2013 - Dark. Deep, fruity. Strawberry and roses. Iodine, a little tar. Palate powerful and rather tannic. Covered up by a little residual sweetness. But this is off-dry rather than really semi-sweet. A bit one-dimensional. This appears to be in need of bottle age. Well balanced. I have 12 of these so will save rating until I understand it a bit better. My impression is good though.

Addendum: I was quite surprised by your prompt response, Thank you. I understand, my cellar/cooler space is also quite limited. I was gifted a bottle of 2018 Kindzmarauli I'll be reviewing soon that you may want to see. (I reviewed a 2015 Artevani Saperavi that you might also find interesting) -
