Still very tannic and structured, but with bright red fruit peeking through. Perhaps better in a few years. Serious stuff for under $20.

Not a good intro to Greek reds. Smells raisiny and tastes like cough syrup and oak.

Very similar to Barolo, lots of fruit, sun dried tomatoes? Medium finish, good structure.
