There is some of that crazy volatile acid that gives it a bit of a pickle note. Black tea as well. Pretty cool wine but not approachable.

Jan 24th, 2015Smells amazing! Rich fruits and some earthy notes that come through on the palate with tons of acidity that gets the tip of the tongue tingling and the mouth watering, followed by velvety tannins that longer in the softest way. Wow!!

May 26th, 2024Wouldn’t buy this wine again, but it was fun to try something different. It’s acidic with an herbal note (rosemary?). Had with pastitsio. overall only an average wine.

Feb 2nd, 2015Medium ruby, red fruit on the nose but also a briny thing happening - something vegetal. Interesting. Medium bodied, tart fruit on the palate, feels like the acidity overly pokes out of the structure. Tannins are relatively pronounced. Mind you, I don’t know anything about what Agiorgitiko brings to the mix and what the mindset is for this style.
