... deeply coloured, purple-hued saperavi showing a billowing, almost perfumed nose of lilac, black cherry/blackberry jam, tea and light spice. It pours full, soft, medium sweet and thick. Not quite syrupy, but there is a ton of fruit here. Tannins are soft, the flavour depth is very good to excellent. Chill lightly. Tasted Oct. 2024. Score - 89. (David Lawrason, winealign.com)

The Alazani Valley is a subregion of Kakheti and has a winemaking history dating back nearly 8,000 years. Slightly warmer than the region at large, the Alazani Valley produces very ripe fruit perfect for crafting semi-sweet wines such as this one, which is made from the indigenous Rkatsiteli variety. It offers a floral nose, with tropical fruit, mango, orange and honey notes on the palate.
