Thessaly, Greece

Glinavos

Vlahiko Dry Red Blend 2020

Another Greek red impressing me. Not as fulsome as the Naoussa I’ve reviewed here, but also Nebbiolo adjacent in a good way. Dark red cherry notes, lavender flowers, bay leaf which could be off putting to some (but not out of balance). For about 20$ I likey, but wasn’t crazy for. — 2 months ago
