Well round and smooth wine with a forward design to it and at a very good time in its life to be enjoyed. Modern Greek winemaking here but not overdone and the oak is in check and adds to the smoothness of the wine. Good solid and dependable wine , good fruit across, no harsh elements and feels in balance . Good to come across this with some nice age to it. Still has some life to it. 87 from us.

Definitely the best Merlot I consumed in 2011. Really impressive. Very light, really aromatic, clearly fruity with mostly sultanas, flowers, honey and cinnamon. Refreshing aftertaste with welcoming note in the nose and palate. Want to drink more. Drunk with pasta with broccoli and garlic sauce. Was a real Gem. Have 2, 2006 bottles will be keeping them hopefully for a while!

Opened for 1 hour prior to tasting at a dinner with friends. Took in total about 2 hours for the wine to really start to come alive. Medium bodied and very smooth, cannot feel the tannins at all, red and black fruits, not much floral but still a very good bottle of Merlot.

Decanted for about 1 hour, gets really good from about 2 hours. Complex nose of Right bank, soft tannins, very enjoyable.

Very good Merlot. Smooth taste. Takes time to reach full flavour.
