  February 14, 2024 - Herbs and tobacco and dark berries on the nose. Cherry cranberry fruit up front with a real savory bitterness (tea and quinine) on the finish. Pretty nice, but not going out to buy more and age.

  January 12, 2024 - Bought The Wine Society UK, approx £12.00
  Pop and pour, no decant. Cork seal.
  
  A quality juicy Quaffer; decent ripe red fruit, ripe enough to be almost rich, with good acid balance and soft tannins which approach crunchy but don’t actually get there. Near-Dry on the scale, not properly Dry. Solid medium-body. Just a hint of green tomato stalk, though not sappy. Flavours obvious and bold though not especially long. It’d be perfect rustic red - though not so rustic it’s raw around the edges - for a joyous night in a loud busy pasta/pizza cafe. I liked it very much, though I expected to because I’ve been drinking this Greek bargain for a few years now.
  
  Not mature, obviously, but I’m guessing just another 3 years cellar time would see it better than it’s ever going to be.
  
  I’m guessing this would be better for an hour decant. Previously I’ve put the cork back, drank it the second night and that second tasting has been so much better.
  (Actually, I’m going to cork stop this bottle, come back tomorrow night, make notes/score on that.)
  
  
  VFMoney/QPR?…..costs approx £12.00 and feels like a £18.00 wine, so I’m happy.

  December 31, 2023 - Nose: sun-dried tomatoes, herbs and some red fruit
  
  Palate: fresh red fruit, herbs, red berries, rosehip and spices.
  
  Perfect alternative to barbera or light Pinot Noir. Delightful freshness and goes well with light meats!

  December 29, 2023 - Pas de notes précises, bu trop souvent pour m’étaler à chaque fois. Toujours satisfaisant. Première fois avec une moussaka, qui s’avère être un très bon accord. De l’avoir bu après un gamay un peu discret et vert, on goûte bien ici la particularité du cépage, chaud, avec ses fruits plus rouges qui rappelle le Pinot noir, sa trame épicée et son côté particulier qui rappelle un peu la tomate.

  December 5, 2023 - Aroma av solbærbusker og krydder. Kjølig steinfrukt, flott, integrert syre. Elegant. Mye vin for pengene. Smaker like godt til løvbiffen som til kalvefileten.
