2013 Palivou Estate Agiorgitiko Terra Leone Ammos

As oaky, ripe and pleasing as Napa Merlot, but structurally (alcohol/acidity/tannins) slightly better balanced.

2015 Cure d'Attalens Chasselas Cure d'Attalens

Surprisingly outgoing, aromatic and long for a so-called "light and neutral" variety, but mainly impressive due to its precision, finesse and many subtle nuances - including its flinty minerality and creamy-soft texture. Very, very easy to drink, but by no means simplistic.

2013 Ktima Pavlidis Thema Red
9/24/2016 - IB71 wrote: 90 Points
The wine is deep ruby with slightly purple rim. It is developing, with medium(+) intensity aromas of ripe (bordering jammy) red and black fruit (sweet cherry, bramble, black plums) with additional notes of kernel and oak (mocha, dark chocolate and vanilla). The wine is dry with medium(+) acidity, medium(+) fine-grained tannins, high alcohol, full body, viscous mouthfeel and medium(+) intensity flavours reflecting the nose. Medium(+), slightly bitter (tea leaf) finish.
It's a very good wine. The alcohol is slightly warming, but well-contained within pure and opulent fruit, and well-complemented by oaky complexity and a marked acidic-tannic structure.
Stylistically reminiscent of serious modern syrah-blends from the Languedoc-Roussillon, with depth of fruit and solid structure for at least another 3-5 years of bottle ageing.
