Dark purple. Ripe dark fruit straight in your face but the wine shows layers of complexity as you swirle the glass. Ripe plum, morello cherries,some animal notes, tobacco, some dried herbs, oak. Very good balance with medium acidity and tannins, medium to long finish where you feel the cab taking over through bell pepper nuances. The best wine from Cyprus that I have ever tasted.

The Wines of Cyprus; 12/17/2014-1/7/2015 (Nicosia, Cyprus): This is really good. Great Comme des Garçons print shop and garage on the nose. Severe lines upfront and very tight. Great elegance and framing with a no compromise poise. Fruit shows up as harmony and the funk takes care of the melody. Medium finish with a bit of toughness and the minor key Shiraz elements strut. Really beautiful wine. (40 Merlot, 30 Shiraz, 30 Cab Sauv)
