Good flavor but just a tad watery for my taste.

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.

Wouldn’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.

Super acidic. Tastes like oregano? Not my favorite.

Letting it breathe for a while made it even better.

Medium 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.
