This is an interesting blend of indigenous Greek grapes. Consumed over two days. On day one, at opening with minimal aeration, very fruit-forward, but in a pleasant way. Dominant flavor of cherry and raisins, but with enough tannins. The fruit was much less dominant on day two. Nice long finish, but not very complex and does not evolve as wines that I would rate more highly. Still, drinking well right now, and might be at its peak.
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raisin. It tastes like raisin. The body is medium. The wine has fleshy texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Perhaps had a defective bottle, but wine tasted not quite right - like it was subject to heat. Not what I was expecting from such a reputed producer, not scored. Stewed, heaty, very herby.

Sort of a mysterious wine with grape varietals that were not familiar. It was fresher than many Greek wines I have drank but still had that brooding, lingering flavor of prune and plum. Very interesting and drinking well. Still dark red in color and medium weight.

Very little colour change, bright ruby; subtle nose with some savoury meat juice character, complex but in an understated way; silky entry, lovely tannins, very smooth - this is at a lovely stage for drinking now. A little heat on the finish but overall very rewarding and a very good drop for the money.

Lovely colour and structure. Welcoming smell, very appealing. Dried herbs, Berries and mild Oak.
Tasting: Extremely pleasant; light but very tasty. Cherry, Oak dried Berries and maybe light Vanilla predominate. Cherry with mild Oak predominate throughout drinking. Very good structure, light and refreshing aftertaste with Cherry and light Vanilla in the nose. Impressive wine, will love ageing.
