January 18, 2024 - A mix of indigenous grapes, the xinomavro is identifiable on the nose with some dried rose petal, to,ato leaf and tomato paste, on the palate it has more darker fruit, fairly resolved and ready now, this is a good example of a maturing Greek wine based on xinomavro and good value in the uk

December 14, 2022 - Clear, translucent ruby colour. High class nose of roses, strawberries, cherries marinated in alcohol, intoxicating spices from the polished oak and cola flavours. The mouth feeling is equally impressive, ethereal with noble tannins and youthful acidity. Long and tasty aftertaste. A gorgeous wine and great Vfm.

June 22, 2021 - Day 1-2 - Transparent dark brick color. A lot of cranberry, dried tomato, and rusted iron. With a touch of leafy floral note from xinomavro. Pleasantly high toned. Tannin is silky at the very beginning but intensifies towards the end leaving mouth drying sensation. Medium level of round integrated acidity. Clearness, oak is well integrated/ not prominent. Reminds of puglia primitivo and alicante monastrell at the same time. Complicated than complex, but well made overall. Worked well with thai food. 89.
Day 3 - improved unexpectedly. Gained further leafy smoky leathery note with raspberry brightness. Earthy dark core with suppleness not too far away from best examples from lesser cote de beaune villages (marange or santenay). 89-90. -

February 14, 2021 - Really like the style of these greek wines. Intense and elegant, like a Burgundy. But still very different, because of different grapes. So the palate contains completely different aspects og taste. Like it a lot.
