Agiorgitiko Mavroudi blend
Nose: vanilla, black raspberries, fig jam, stewed plum, nutmeg
Taste: raspberries, cherries, violets?, nutmeg
Low-medium tannin, acidity could be brighter, but altogether lovely and complex. Could do with some age, though — 2 years ago
90y old, nongrafted, high altitude Monemvasia, natural yeast, aged 6m in the lees.
This is quite complex & elegant, less obvious. White pear, a touch of dried orange peel and underripe apricot.
Good concentration on the palate with great depth. Salty, mineral, intense, savoury. This has loads of interesting edges & personality. Def. needs more time but this is really good. — 3 years ago

Old vine Monemvasia from their Estate vineyard. 20% fermented & aged in new French barriques with regular batonnage, 80% stainless steel, 6m on the lees.
Ripe with ripe lemons & lemon peel, jasmine, white pear and vineyard peach. Lovely presence on the palate, with vibrant acidity and nice depth. Elegant in its savoury, herby, mineral core. A salty edge towards the long finish.
The 5y showing off nicely and the oak seamlessly integrated. This is a lovely, complete wine. — 3 years ago

High novelty factor. Tannins and acid still hanging around which leads me to believe it was fairly big and unruly in its youth. Smooth and earthy, evolved fruit. Maybe a bit pruney but I find this typical of Greek reds. Paired wonderfully with spicy pasta bolognese. — 18 days ago
