Drink it now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant it but best to open it half an hour before service.
Iago Bitarishvili is a Georgian winemaker of great intellect and ability, the first to have obtained biodynamic certification in his country. In his small vineyard of about two hectares, in the village of Chardakhi, in the Kartli region, on calcareous soil, he meticulously cultivates the ancient native vine called Chinuri.
The vinification process is carried out traditionally. The harvest is entirely manual and the pressing is done with the feet in wooden presses (locally called Satsnaheli). The grapes are then macerated on their skins for 6 months. Maceration is followed by spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts in amphora. The final wine is left unclarified and unfiltered. Production is limited and amounts to about 2000 bottles.
The Iago Chinuri shows a beautiful deep golden color. On the nose, it releases strong aromas of fresh fruit and sweet spices, with traces of menthol and hydrocarbon. On the palate, the wine is energetic and lively, with an important acid backbone, accompanied by a soft component that makes it well-balanced and extremely pleasant. It goes wonderfully with appetizers, fish first courses, white meats, and vegetarian preparations.

Iago Chinuri 2021
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
