Domaine Economou
Oikonomoy Crete Liatiko
I’ve compared this to warmer Nebbiolo with its striking rose petal bouquet, with some tart red cherry, spice and a little herbaciousness in the mix. Finishes with a touch of heat.

I wish I had some Jamon on hand to go with it.
Amazing.

Interesting find - firm gum line tannins. Prune, earth and cherry. Felt very Italian. Classic.

Jun 27th, 2017A lot like memories of Crete - forward lushness with a distinctly refined classical restraint and purity. Hillside scrubby herbs, olive skin tannin and flesh. Beautiful fruit and slightly charred edge.

Jun 7th, 2017This wine blew me away! The nose is a power punch of tobacco and black fruit but the flavor and body is light / medium and silky smooth. Truly amazing!

Jul 8th, 2019Amazingly complex and like nothing I’ve had before. Almost no fruit on the nose or palate. Funky, leathery, salty, and smoky. Tannins are present and well integrated. Closest reference would be a Bordeaux blend. Awesome wine.
