If you tasted this wine blind you could be forgiven for thinking it was nebbiolo. Earthiness, good tannins. It would be interesting to look at the varieties genetics as it is not all that far form the North of Greece to Northeast Italy! Still has some cellaring potential. I drank as a wine match on the degustation menu at Sepia in Sydney ("Grilled Master Kobe wagyu rump, nameko mushroom, fried potato and kombi crumb citrus soy") - this was a heart match. Liked wine so bought 1/2 a dozen recently.
