| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by WineCenturyAZ on 10/9/2018 & rated 92 points: Delicious. Clear, deep ruby in the glass, quick forming long tears, nose has medium intensity with red and black fruits, mixed berries and cherry, palate is dry and velvety, fruits are expressive and ripe, cherry, plum, cassis, boysenberry jam, notes of cacao, vanilla, sweet spice leading to a long lingering farewell. Very good quality juice. Seems to be drinking at or near peak best over the next year or so. An example of a world class Greek red wine that shows it is good to expand your wine horizons.

Ripe with rounded tannins, velvety texture and a long, refreshing finish. (900 views) | | | Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 11/10/2017 & rated 90 points: Very authentic and delicious Greek lunch at Bakalaki. Ordered a bottle off the strictly Greek wines only wine list. Drank over 1.5 hours.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with fruity aromas of boysenberries, dark red cherries, black cherries, blackberries, macerated stewed berry compote, some stony earth minerality. Youthful.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), very soft supple medium+ tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of boysenberries, black cherries, blackberries, warm spices, very slight sweet chocolate oak. Long finish.
Very good quality. Polished, fruity, friendly and very approachable. Like an amiable Bro dude at a party. Lacks layers of complexity. So velvety soft. Seems to me that it is for drinking now and over the next 3+ years. Doesn't give me the impression it is for ageing.

The color is a beautiful dark red with long legs on the glass. The taste opens up with time and combines sweet fruity with some acid/salty notes. Amazing. Similarly the taste fills your mouth with rasperry and cherry notes, a hint of the salty mediterranean air and light oak taste. The finish is smooth and medium to long with beautiful fine tannins. Truely one of the very good red wines of the world and a insider tip with great value. (1578 views) | | | Tasted by Zweder on 11/21/2016 & rated 90 points: Retailer tasting; just short notes. (@ AB): In the bouquet herb, iron, red and dark berry fruits. On the palate minerals, red and dark berries. Supple and beautiful wine. 90++?
