My first greek wine with such maturity. Impressive balance and structure of single varietal of Agiorgitiko, aged for 12 months in new FR barrels. Deep garnet red colour. Seducing rich aroma of cooked and dried plums, figs, dry earth, spices, tamarinds, licorice, sweet tobacco, medicinal and old furniture hints. Medium body, medium density texture with flavours of dried and ripe plums, figs on a smoky background, powdery tannins with surprisingly decent structure briefly coats the mouth, short finish.

By the glass at The Gym, Lefkosia, Cyprus. Felt tired ( not oxidised) and a bit harsh, lacked an elegance and balance and just felt like the fruit is dry and what's left behind was uninteresting... 87 at best now and make past it's bedtime.

Nose is similar to the 2008 (blackberry, blueberry, pepper), but softer, with a little less fruit and a little more meat and smoke. Palate is light-bodied, with a watery finish, but still shows strong flavours: blackberry, cranberry, and barbecue sauce.

I found this wine less exciting than three years ago abd not because it had grown tired, instead because I found it lacking depth and complexity.
