A couple of weeks ago I picked up an old issue of the chief butler and as usual I browsed until Ulf Jansson little chronicle of Vinjournalen. This time it was not Bengt Bouquet who figured in the accompanying drawing, but two stern Georgia gentleman with strong whiskers and fur hats where altercation was:
- I think of justice in the new world wines are so one-dimensional.
- Yes, show me the Bordeaux who stand up against a Saperavi.
The text was then Georgia's long wine history and the fact that it produces wines of very high level of local grape varieties - mainly white and red rkatsiteli saperavi.
This got me be a bit curious about the wines from Georgia and for a search on SB appeared producer name Pheasant's Tears up. A few days later, type BV-Ingvar a post , of \u200b\u200balmost para-psychological plane, on a pair of white wines from the producer said.
I give not attempt a more detailed presentation of this producer that I know that Ingvar will soon attend extensive testing the importer Georgian Wine Legacy 's catalog. We are however terrible nysgerrige on how this smells and tastes, so we pour directly.
A powerful black-red and dense liquid like steps on the bottle. The scent teleports us right into the barn where we may sniff at the goat, cow and through sensible horse. Blue cheese and light whiff of vomit makes us begin to consider a real airing of the wine to access the goodies that we think we know behind all funky odors.
Work - yes , quickly tripping the prunes and blackcurrant out of the spotlight. English fruit cake, sweet licorice and slightly medicinal herbs toner runs at but a bit annoying stearinton would not quite let go. Fragrance Collection gives, after aeration, associations with bio-Cabernet (both Sauvignon and Franc) and subsequently adopt actually somewhat bordelaisiska guises.
The low alcohol content (12.5%) spend a lightness to munkänslan that is difficult to imagine when you take snuff in the wine - it would taste as intense as the smell so the wine had been heavy and difficult drunk. I would probably not call the potability of the "high" but a considerable freshness can be felt around the tobaksbemängda core, leaving a hint of bergamot in the finish, and together with tobacco tone is shaped into a pouch General Snus, running into the slender wormwood bitterness.
Saperavi from Kakheti will definitely investigate further. This resulted in - despite all the obscure scent impression - you want more. Lovely unconventional vinifieringsmetoder and a tough grape that surely feel good to lie to themselves for a while in bottle. Hearty aeration walkers, however.
