Community Tasting Note

• Yiannis Likes this wine: 94 points

  September 29, 2013 - Oenokosmos Wine Show, Grande Bretagne Hotel, Athens, Greece: Dark ruby-garnet. Stunning nose with sage, liquorice, candied cherry in syrup, chocolate, mint and noticeable but nicely integrated oak. Full-bodied with firm tannins, high acidity and a long aftertaste. Blind could pass for a top Aussie shiraz.

  Are you scheduling some future encounters with this one?

  9/30/13, 10:21 AM - I found the price a little steep (in Sweden) but when I conscidered my blinded appreciation of this wine and guessed what a comparable level of pleasure from other districts would cost me... Then, my choice was very simple :-)
  (Surfing your cellar it's obvious we have quite a similar affinity for certain Italian wines... CT is fantastic!)
