Tasting notes

• Appearance
  Deep ruby color.
  
• Nose
  The aroma is rich and strong. After 5 years of bottle aging, the tertiary aromas gradually appear. Ripe blueberries, blackberries, black currants, black cherries, black figs, black pepper, eucalyptus, cloves, toast, thyme, violets, cocoa, burnt wood, tobacco, coffee, forest floor.
  
• Palate
  The attack is abundant with ripe, dark berries. Then, you can sense a hint of spice and earthy, natural nuances. The texture is silky and smooth, showcasing the characteristics of the grape variety. With ample acidity and tannins, further aging can be expected. There's also plenty of fruitiness that lingers on the palate.
  
• Food pairing
  Saperavi pairs well with home-cooked dishes. It goes nicely with stews, fatty pork roasts, beef hamburgers, and spicy salami. It's also recommended as a barbecue wine.
