  Part of blind tasing / wine paring at CTC , Urban Gastronomy , Athens.
  Very young , crunchy fruit, dark fruit and decent oaky dynamic which helps calm somehow the wine. It does not dominate. Dark fruits dominate and even confirmed people for a Syrah. We went with Napa 5 year old Merlot. Good 90-91 but really a bit too young at this stage.

  Nose of classic ripe cabernet fruit with some char. tastes of black currant and blackberry fruit with heavy oak char. Med+ acidity. Fairly prominent drying tannins. Deserves decanting. 90-91.
