Greece
Mavrodaphne grapes from Kilkis region, fermented in oak/amphora for 10 months
The wine shows high intensity in the nose, loads of fruit here, bold, red and black fruit, some dried fruit notes, sweet spice notes, a bit oak but on the sweet side, some biscuit notes
In the palate, the wine shows red cherry notes, maraschino notes, red berry notes, smooth tannins, a bit savoury, earthy, dry and medium length finish
Rather lean for the variety

In the palate, the wine shows maraschino notes, red berry notes, med body, lip smacking texture, a bit salty, some floral notes. The tannins are medium, medacidity, med finish
Should it stayed that long ? I don't think so.
Would I like to taste a young vintage of this ? Sure
At 75 euros, its a very steep price tag though
