Vintage 2019 | Venison steak with mashed carrots. What to pair with it? I had six bottles in my hands and decided this Greek wine from six years old. When young you often do not know what to expect from a wine, the older you get the more you get a trained taste and can choose safe choices. But I like the surprises and the fact I am not aware what to expect. This red has a rich nose with cedar (6 m barrel aging), chocolate and spices. Cherries in taste with a hint of raspberries, quite strong ánd still quaffable. Chocolate in taste too. It makes my day. Fine website from producer but it does not give the grape variety (mavrodaphne?). — 4 months ago

Even better with lamb. Intense earthiness (reminds me of good Aglianico but austere like a young cab franc), touch of barnyard, framed by a graceful body with finer tannins than the nose would lead to believe. — a year ago

Lots of flavor, juicy dark fruit with an earthy/mineral backbone. Well structured and excellently balanced, ripe while retaining nice acidity with a soft grip. — 3 years ago

Extraordinary and flavorful Greek wine. Unlike anything else: flavors of balsamic, bell pepper, and rosemary. All of the flavor is in the finish. Perfect with moussaka. — 3 years ago

A lovely Greek wine. Raisin aromas that are almost port like. Prune, plum, and smoke notes. A great change of pace and if you like other old world wines, I'd recommend you give this a try. Good value at $18. — 4 years ago

Minerality in smell, vanilla and spicyness. After aeration the wine gets a velvety structure, cherries. Paired with gurnard and ratatouille, plateau of cheeses. Goed well: red wine and fish... — 4 years ago
