Poured with a Coravin! Sangiovese body, but beyond that, I can't compare this to anything else.

A SommSelect pick 🇬🇷. Fruity, light, and easy to drink. Youthfully vibrant and Burgundian on the nose with ripe cherries, manure, gravel, and graphite.

Mix of tart and ripe red fruits, tobacco and spice -- drinks a bit like Sangio. Decanted in glass for about 40 min, but could have used more time as it improved in glass. A bit overpowering for the stew I had it with, but thinking would be a really good match for kibbeh. Decent value.
