Not quite as exotic, complex, as the Sitia 1999, but still singing with the Provençal-Arabic voice making Crete so unique. Native rootstock, century old, thoughtfully SO2'd, Liatiko from Ziros. — 10 years ago

Really interesting. Tastes like an old-style Rioja. Good oak and much better and more Rioja-Esque the second day. Thanks to Susannah at Flatiron Wines for the recommendation! — 8 years ago
