Community Tasting Note

Yiannis Likes this wine: 92 points
February 18, 2014 - Dark ruby. Expressive nose of dark plum, dark cherry, sweet spices, licorice and blackberry with noticeable sweet oakiness. Medium-bodied, balanced and soft with a long aftertaste. Will improve further after fully intagrating the oak. Fruit and structure seem capable to support further aging. Perfectly paired with a juicy, steak au poivre.

I don't think that a 1 point difference reflects a real decline in quality or a change in taste...it is more a matter of the moment and the overall experience. I still believe that this is an excellent, albeit not "Greek" as you mension. wine.
