What an interesting wine. Hints of tobacco and vaguely smokey. Some hints of fruit and caramel and a dry European cider essence on the nose. Very dry and tannic with a touch of acidity that lingers on the tongue. Paired this with Greek Pastitsio and it paired rather nicely. Always fun to try a new wine. And I would drink this one again.

Perhaps the best Greek red I've ever had, albeit a low bar. Still pretty dry but opened up with strong tones of blackberry and other fruit. Moderate acids/tannins.
