Wines of Cyprus; 5/19/2008-6/10/2008: Dark and brooding colour. Good nose of meat, dried currants and slight adhesive note. Big body, broad and a bit rough. Good elements of leather, clove and more dried currants. Still some mocha/oak notes lingering. Rough edges linger with the finish. Carries itself well, but also planted more in a generic Meritage groove than its own vibe.

This is a blend of 70% lefkado, 5% merlot, 5% mataro, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 10% shiraz. It has scents of the forest floor on the nose with some restrained black fruit. Nice palate: gentle fruit with a less gentle tannic structure, especially noticeable on the finish. Very powerful, very tannic and quite hard work. Good. 83/100 but if it integrates well over the next few years, it has the potential for 87/100.
