  Intriguing. Delicious. Certainly a unique wine with a nose of cedar, plums, anise, and maybe a little rose? Reminiscent of a distant cousin of Barolo to me. On the palate the plums continue to dominate with dried fruit, strong salinity, and a healthy dose of balancing acidity. I recommend opening an hour or so before drinking; this has the legs to age for many years. A fantastic wine.

  Medium ruby with garnet hues. Fragrant if funky and wild nose with somewhat stewed red and darker fruits, garrigue, a touch of cedar, dried flowers and dried herbs in a mineral/earthy frame. Medium bodied with lots of ripe tannins, high acidity that tries to balance the sunny fruit, balsamic notes. The wine felt somewhat unbalanced initially and an hour in an open bottle was very beneficial. All components came together in complex, layered and harmonious way. Great wine, one of the best reds Greece has to offer, easily outperforming a 2014 Rauzan Segla we had along the same night. 94-95

  Very interesting wine, made from coastal Liatiko (60%) and Mandilari (40%) aged for several years in various vessels. 13.5% alcohol. Decanted briefly, but didn't need it, save perhaps to remove a very small amount of fine sediment: if anything, the (relatively fine) tannins showed themselves after some exposure to oxygen. The nose reminded me of a sforzato Valtellina, sharp but with extremely ripe, plummy, almost stewed fruit... but on the palate things were extremely different, all sharp, volatile and funky, with bright and intense purple fruit, anise and oregano. A long, fruit-soaked, slightly balsamic finish completed the experience.

  This wine is nothing like the usual French derived grapes. Consisting of Laitiko and Mandilaria grapes the aroma and the taste are uniquely Greek. I had it with family in NYC in a Greek reataurant. The nose immediately sets it apart from the usual grapes like Cabernet’s and Merlot’s. The palate is diatinguiajed by plum, boysenberry, cassis and heavy hints of olive and smoke. Excellent tannins and the finish is long and soft and smooth. This is an excellent wine to go with Mediterrranean themed dinners. Two thumbs up.

  Awesome. Reminds me of Chateau Musar! Black raspberry and Cassis, dried fig, balsamic.
