August 6, 2022 - Purchased last year direct from winery. Met the winemaker and we had trouble interpreting that I was artist who painted with wine and wanted to paint with his juice, but at least I got to buy 6 of this excellent wine.
In Gorome this was $100 a bottle in the good restaurants but $35 from the winery, which was on top of an ancient facility that we got to tour.
Cappadocia is an amazing area of the world. I highly recommend visiting. Was some of the highlights of my life to see the white sands holding ancient bush vines of indigenous varietals among the chimneys.
This bottle had been in my cellar for a year and upon decant held massive amounts of sediment.
After 2 hours of air still held no nose, but sported palate of purity with plums, cherries, tars herbs and nary a detect of oak, which is a plus. I opened to taste with the folks at Rare Wine Company as I figured they rarely get to taste such as this, and I was right.
Yum for the ancient wine history and yum for the quality, and yum for the experience.367 views
