| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Patk70 on 1/4/2021 & rated 90 points: very good sweet wine with a balance of acidity and sweetness, (474 views) | | | Tasted by AlbertaOenologist on 9/12/2014 & rated 93 points: great spice and balance! (2598 views) | | | Tasted by Man in Black on 10/20/2013: The wine is clear and bright with a medium brown colour and a bit of deposit. The nose is clean and fully developed, with medium intensity aromas of dried figs, prunes, liquorice, nail varnish remover and hints of caramel. It's medium-sweet in the mouth, with medium- acidity, low alcohol (for a fortified), full body and medium+ intensity flavours of dried figs, nail varnish remover, liquorce, caramel and cherries. Long finish. It's a good quality wine that lacks some complexity and balance, but it has a very good concentration and length. Drink now, it won't develop, but can be kept for 4-6 years.

Imagine a good vintage port and add in strong notes of fig, cloves, cinnamon, very spicy!
Very good all on its own too. I'm a big fan.

(3861 views) | | | Tasted by balassis on 3/23/2009 & rated 93 points: Very interesting and successful job from Thanassis Parparoussis, a serious winemaker of Patras (West Peloponnisos).
Muddy ruby/brown in color.
At the beginning mute nose, but after some aeration into the glasses reveals aromas of raisins, black forest fruits and apple pie.
Full-bodied with realy a very good balance between acidity and sweetness. Flavors of figs, cinnamon, clove, nuts and black pepper.
Very long and spicy aftertaste. A porto like wine.
Pairs nicely with chocolate cake, strong cheese, but stands on its own, after a good meal. (3973 views) |
