Sunday, February 14, 2010 - Kotsifali / Syrah blend. Deep red/ purple with violet edges. Heavy oak on the nose, very rustic (have seen this with other Cretan Syrahs), later berries and slight earth comes through. Alcohol heat very evident on both nose and palate. Medium bodied. Berries on palate but somehow just seems "fake" to me. Acidity and tannins are both slight. Can't make my mind up whether it's disjointed or boring. Not saying much to me although a Greek wine journalist raves about it - perhaps it was an off bottle...
