Honestly impressed with how well this has held up and aged gracefully. Delicious, nice developed tannins, slight earth. Dark cherry.

Vintage 2016 | Interesting combination of Syrah and Xinomavro. Rubyred colour. Frivolous smell with berries and plums. A lot of character. And power. Good acidity. A wine for fine dining. Winegrower Makis Mavridis. Winemaker Angelo Iatridis. | Paired with a grilled entrecôte.

Nice tang, but kind of a letdown.

Very interesting. Syrah red fruit notes that are very layered with a rustic Nebbiolo like edge. Tannins are firm and continue off the mid palate.

50% Syrah, 50% Xinomavro. Tastes like a really good Crozes-Hermitage and better than most.

Stewed fruits on the nose. Medium to dark bodied. Dry. Plums. Better after another year of aging.
