Pale red, almost brick like color on this blend of kotsifali (60%) and mandilaria (40%) red. Nose full of wood and a little acetone, with some red fruits thrown in. The red fruits dominate the palate, the tannins are smooth but the finish finishes too quickly. This is a good wine to open with friends, but I wouldn't bring it to a dinner.

Super funky - almost taleggio like.
First had this wine in Miami at Taverna Opa when I was 21. My palate has definitely changed, but I'm still digging this.

Vibrant yet tart, Apple cider vinegar, it's all Chinese to me!
