Tour of Turkey & Greece; 4/16/2022-5/10/2022 (Restaurants in Turkey & Greece; on our ship touring the Greek Isles; at the Argyros Winery): PnP, but definitely benefits from some air. In fact, this wine may benefit from another year or two in the cellar. A blend of two native Turkish varietals: Bogazkere-which adds tannins and structure, and Okuzgozu-which adds bright red fruit and acidity. Here this combination works reasonably well and may remind one of a weaker version of Syrah. The nose yields dried red fruits and a touch of earth. The medium to plus bodied palate shows more dark and red fruits like blackberry, dark cherry, and cranberry, along with touches of black pepper and oak. The acidity is reasonably balancing, but the tannins are initially obvious, then soften somewhat with air.

Succulent with savoury red fruit like cranberry and cherry. Nicely flowing across the palate with a supple texture and rounded tannins.
