Super nice nose ! Very fruity with blackberry, raspberry, a bit of tar, a bit of bread yeast, a bit of pine sap. I could have called nebiollo on the nose. The palate is juicy and fruity with nice raspberry and blackberry notes, some width, some matter on the side, some dusty tannins that leave a drying layer over a nice amd fruity finish with a tiny, nice bitter note that adds a nice level of complexity to an otherwise youthful and playful wine. Good stuff ! — a month ago

I’ve had this bottle for the past several years and have been tempted to open it a time or two before now but I’m so glad I waited. While this was definitely a “big wine,” it was not heavy or rough, but rather smooth and refined, thanks likely to the decade or so it had in the bottle. Loads of dark fruit, along with a bit of chocolate and some tobacco too. 80% Agiorgitiko, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. 4/5/25. — a month ago
