Medium plus tannins, nice oak usage. Blue fruits with slight red fruit. 3500 foot vineyards, the highest in Europe, 1 ton per acre yields. $38 a bottle. If you can purchase this go and get it.

2012 vintage. Great nose with cherry, spice, minerality, vanilla, earth and red berries. M+ acid. M body and tannin. Fresh and lively. Would be great to pair with food.

Softened to a beautiful, mellow wine with tobacco, vanilla, and tart strawberry. There's some earthy notes of cheese rind and autumn leaves too. Pretty good!

Grand Cuvee Nemea 2008 agiortikio by Domaine Skouros. Opened for half an hour and paired with a lobster bisque, this is surprising in how much it works. The bisque tempers the slight tannins in the wine and the wine makes the bisque even more creamier. The nose is much more promising than the palate but it's still a wonder of black and blue fruits, earth, leather and some vanilla. Beautiful start to the soup course.

Not green, toned down fruit, fine but punchy drying tannins, much more oxidized than the 04. Tastes of VA, drastically more aged than the 2004.
