Blend of 50% xinomavro, 30% merlot, and 20% syrah. Not familiar with xinomavro but this wine has grippy tannin reminiscent of a younger nebbiolo that I'm assuming is not coming from the merlot or syrah. Finish isn't jammy but there is definitely some ripe, dark fruit and spices present. Very interesting wine. I'm guessing that a few more years in the cellar would further integrate everything.

Much better than previous bottle. Either time has mellowed this wine or first one was bad. Good wine, lovely fruit and tannins at the end. Sadly a bit short on the aftertaste.

Slow ox'ed for over an hour and a half and poured through a vinturri. Medium ruby-garnet in appearance; nose of red and blue berries and some underbrush with a light hint of black cherries. On the palate, there are sour cherries with some black fruits in the background; alcohol is predominant. Medium bodied with a short-medium finish.

Nice, rounded wine that feels well integrated right now. No need for any longer delay in enjoying this wine. Will be good now and the coming year.
