Cherry juice aromas. Medium body. Pushy tannic. Time in the bottle will be kind.

Drinks similarly to Barolo, powerful and intense, violets, black currants, savory herbs and hints of earth. Needs a lot of time to open up.

Black cherries, plums, salted dark chocolate, dust, smoke, beef jerky. Complicated and balanced. Worth more than its $25-30 price tag.

Beautiful wine from Greece, a burgundy lovers style of Greek wine. But with much more tannin.

Greek goodness, the flavors of the islands really come through, dried plums, fresh herbs, black olives, dusty tannins, tart salty finish, thinking they've had a little but of practice making wine that goes with their food...

Perfumy nose of red cherries, cranberry, & touch of Xmas fruitcake. Acid & tannin seem gentle at first & then come up assertively. V nice!
