Le Crete

Alexakis S.A.

Assyrtiko 2022

Dark straw color. Aromas of ripe pear, lime, white flowers and fresh herbs. The palate features more tropical fruits, green apples, minerals and citrus. The long finish is a bit salty and smoky. Bracing acidity and crisp. Solid value. — 3 days ago

Manousakis

Nostos Red Blend 2018

Popped and poured; consumed over an hour. The 2018 Nostros Blend is an interesting combination of Rhône varieties. A GSM with a touch of Roussanne. The wine pours a deep garnet color with medium+ viscosity; faint staining of tears. On the nose, a combination of ripe and stewed red, black and blue fruits, oiled leather ball glove, black pepper, olive tapenade, salmiakki, tomato leaf, dry rocky minerals and just a hint of warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium (+?) tannin, medium acid. Alcohol is medium + but comes across a touch hot. Finish is long and spicy. My favorite red so far from Manousakis. Should drink well through the end of the decade. I can sense Laurence Féraud’s hand on this ❤️ — a year ago

Liatiko 2017

Had this one with Sushi, paired really nicely. There is a bit of leather base note and a very slight hint of honey at the top. The wine hasa color, not dissimilar to olive oil had me thinking about Greece the whole time. I’m a fan. — 22 days ago

Food-friendly glou-glou with just the right amount of subtle yet distinctive tannic, minerality, and bramble bite. — 7 months ago

Manousakis

Nostos Grenache 2017

Popped and poured; no formal notes. The wine is light ruby with abundant ripe red bramble fruits, bruised strawberry, warm spices. The structure is basically medium; medium tannin and medium acid. Not the most complex Grenache out there but it gives me a lot of Southern Rhone vibes. Tasty. — a year ago
