Serving
Glass
Bordeaux glass
Tall bowl with a narrowing rim: gathers the aroma and softens the alcohol — the shape for dense, tannic reds.
Low-sulfur wine: sediment and slight haze are normal, not a flaw. Store below 16 °C.
Serving temperature: 16–18 °C
Decant for 60 minutes
High tannin needs fatty protein: grilled meat, lamb, aged cheese.
Goes well with
- Khinkali
- Grilled meat (mtsvadi)
- Cheese
