A peep of dark dark fruit and savory leather and dusty books before the acid and tannins close down your tongue and palate. Nowhere near ready.

Considered the grand cru vineyard in the appellation. Compare to nebbiolo apparently. Savory and tomato leaf and lots of power but also fairly chewey.

Medium ruby.
Medium intensity aroma of leather, anise, tobacco.
Medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, medium+ softened tannin, medium body. Pronounced flavour of tobacco, leather, iron, plum, anise, baking spices, mushroom. Medium finish.
Much fruitier and more imminently drinkable than expected.

This is more in the Aglianico/campania mold to me then barolo/barberesco which the region and grape are so often compared to. Big red fruits, with iron and tannins. This is ripe and rich, has a volcanic feel (which I don't believe is true). I like it. Not sure of vintage in Greece, but this feels like a really ripe year, at least from what I remember from the previous times I have had this wine. But it is good, a foil for red meat, and has the acidity and structure to make me wonder what it would be like in five and ten years. If you haven't had it, result worth the $30 tariff.

At first this is a dense and dark fruited sort of red, with a meaty-olivey savory side, some dark spice, and a touch of brett. M to M+ acid, M tannin, M+ to full body. With some air it lightens up a bit and is more floral, less olive/brett, and the fruit more cherry.
I am not familiar with Greek reds at all so my palate is sort of stumbling through this one, but this is roughly what I imagined in to be. Feels more honest (even slightly rustic) than polished/modern, has pretty good acid, and it’s a good pairing for heavy Greek pasta dishes or casseroles, in this case Moussaka. I’m not the best judge of qpr here but feels like a step up from the legions of $15-20 southern French reds in a big dark fruit style, and maybe on par with a relatively serious Langhe Nebbiolo or something like that, so the $30 price seems about right.
I imagine this will drink well for a number of years, at least five more and probably longer. Better at cellar temp, where it feels a bit fresher, than at warmer room temp.
