Almost black. In the bouquet ripe dark berries, cherries and oak. Also some band aid..? But not unpleasant. On the palate a sweet start, ripe fruits, good acidity, mild and round tannin, pleasant oak and a touch of sweetness in the finish. Ready now, but no hurry at all.

This is a massively concentrated wine, super dark fruit (black cherries, plum), mocha, tobacco, some buttery notes. Sweet toasted oak, viscous mouthfeel, very much Parker style. Tannins are smooth and integrated at this point. Can age further but unlikely to improve.

Decanted 45 minutes. Medium bodied and pretty open after the decant. Cherries on the nose, with a rich smokiness on the palate that stood out. Tannins well integrated at this point.

Oenokosmos Wine Show, Grande Bretagne Hotel, Athens, Greece: Very dark opaq. Blackberry, spicy and sweet oak with cinnamon and vanilla on the nose. Full-bodied with firm tannins, high fruit concentration and balancing acidity. Long aftertaste. Quite young, will improve after 3 to 5 years of cellaring.

Clear deep purple color. Clean in the nose with medium intensity but complexity and multilayered showing black cherries, red cherries, dense fruity core, alcohol a bit apparent here, raspberry jam, violet, sweet oak. Youthful.
Dry in the palate, medium+ body, medium+ intensity, medium+ alcohol (14.50%), medium+ acidity with big but round tannins, palate copying the nose with matching flavors plus the sweet oak medium+ finish.
Outstanding wine, premium price (38 euros), this one is quite young still but I'd be happy to drink it now and can clearly age.
It would be fun to try this next to the Frederico Villafane 2008.
