Quite a modern wine, ripe and with lots of oak in its elevate which frankly dominates the wine on open and we would suggest one decant this for a good hour. Post that its pretty good wine , well made ( albeit a bit pushed) and will not fail you. Failed to excite us though and one that needs to be aged with care if it’s to deliver. 89-90 for now

Skouras Megas Oenos Vertical Tasting (Skouras Winery): Harvest: 216/09, Yield: 29hl/ha, production: 27.000 btl, Alc:14.5% The wine was decanted and poured back in the bottle. This is the 30th vintage of the Megas Oinos cuvee. The wine is still very fresh, high intensity in the nose a lot of incense, spices, thin oak frame, ripe red fruits, blue fruits, extremely youthful. In the palate the wine is utterly refined, very elegant and smooth, very ripe red and blue fruit, big silky tannins, balancing acidity, dusty fruit, long finish with a nice incense/spicy nuance. Outstanding quality but also very fresh

With some cinnamon spice to it. Really darn intrguing and special. Lots of power and minerality to it. A very powerful wine.
