  April 11, 2024 - Deep garnet with slight bricking and a medium viscosity (13.5% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of dried red plum, desiccated raspberry, bacon, game, dried lavender, baking spices, cocoa, espresso and purple licorice. The palate is dry with medium acidity, medium tannins with a medium body. Flavors of drying red fruit, game and dried herbs combine with some cocoa, coffee and licorice nuance. The finish is quite long and tends towards forest floor notes along with smoky oak. I like this wine but feel it is at peak or just past. The entry fee is $18 to try out this indigenous Cretian variety that has been blended with Syrah for some structure. 88 points from me and 4 stars.

  May 7, 2022 - Stinky mature red fruit aromas. Some prun-iness and not too fun. Fresher on the palate, but rather not, unless I have to. 60/40
