2009 Katogi Averoff Cabernet Sauvignon
2/7/2021 - Antonis Z. Likes this wine: 86 Points
Founding Greek label of Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 from star gazing 950m. high vineyards.
2hr aeration & still developing delicate dried blackberry aromas evenly perfumed by leathery nutmeg fog. Refreshing med acidity, integrated med tannins, underlined mineral veins on lively crisp med body. Fresh woody earthy flavors on the palate with black peppery tanginess on spicy med+ finish.
Still tannic & ragged with balancing acidity, this CS promises better from 2022-28. Old style no less!

2016 Domaine Mercouri Avgoustiatis
2/5/2021 - Antonis Z. Likes this wine: 89 Points
Impressive rare grape Avgoustiatis 2016 from Ileia in limited 1980bt release.
Excessive blackberry jammy scents wrapped in elegant tobacco, clove & nutmeg cloud.
Crisp woody texture with supple acids & lively med acids livening up on med+ body.
Generous jammy palate mostly black cherry & blackberry preserve with bold caramelised licorice heating on slightly high alcohol long aftertaste.
Avgoustiatis on the rise! Great expression in 2016 vintage from reliable winery, drinks till 2023 nicely,
