  Glad I got to try this. I think this wine has more use being cooked with than drunk!

  July 11, 2017 - Typical Retsina, good acidity makes it a bit more drinkable but still not my type of wine.

  October 13, 2014 - Tasted blind.
  
  Deep, intensely green color with very small bubbles forming on the inside of the glass. Very weird nose with aromas of moist soil, paint thinner, some apple, a little bit of ozone, a hint of herbal greenness and a touch of menthol. After a few moments I pick up a vague yet discernible note of pine resin and deduct that this must be Retsina. The wine is dry, moderately acid-driven and quite chemical on the palate with flavors that repeat the nose rather verbatim. Overall the wine doesn't come across as pleasant in any way. The medium-long finish repeats the nose and the palate.
  
  Pretty much how I remembered it to be. I wouldn't touch this.
