We normally love this wine and consider it to be the most consistent, albeit not really Greek, of the Greek wines. Last time we tried this we rated it 92 but we now wonder weather it was an earlier vintage.... This however was quite overweight on the oak and lacked an expressive side and felt linear. Maybe it's still too young but we really expected a lot more than an oaky, ripe wine. 87 at best and disappointed .

As always a very consistent and very well made wine. In a way what Sassicaia is for Italy ( A french wine made in a foreign land but of excellent quality) Rich and roudn wine, firm tannin. Well assimilated oak (albeit there) and just about entering its drinking window. Pretty solid. 92
