Previously tried other vintages, ‘11 & ‘13, ok but not much better. Interesting blend of Cab, Merlot and Agiorgitiko (Greek grape). Vivid red with purple hues. Aged for 12 months in oak casks gives this wine aromas of blue/red fruits. The palate shows red/black fruit flavors with spice & oak. Rough tannins, out of balance with acidity, not a great offering. Just not a fan of wines from Greece. Tasting Sample.

Acceptable as table wine that is medium bodied with significant tannins. Overall the flavours are dark cherry with some vanilla aroma.

Нежный и аккуратный. Ирга, голубика, специи. Элегатно, кожа, ваниль. Чуть горчит финиш. Хорошее.

This wine is always a favorite, full bodied, great bouquet smooth. It reminds us of when we bought it in Greece.
