This wine is nothing like the usual French derived grapes. Consisting of Laitiko and Mandilaria grapes the aroma and the taste are uniquely Greek. I had it with family in NYC in a Greek reataurant. The nose immediately sets it apart from the usual grapes like Cabernet’s and Merlot’s. The palate is diatinguiajed by plum, boysenberry, cassis and heavy hints of olive and smoke. Excellent tannins and the finish is long and soft and smooth. This is an excellent wine to go with Mediterrranean themed dinners. Two thumbs up.

Post pandemic, newly packaged SDA from before. Lovely as before but not quite the same smooth finish. Still a top cognac design. Can’t fault how it satisfies the palate, except the unnecessary bump in price.
