I thought it would be interesting to see where this wine was in its life. Having plucked it from the cellar, I double decanted it one hour ahead, finding a very light sediment. A ripe strawberry red, slightly pink at the rim. The nose shows subtle cherry kirsch, a touch of wild herb and earthy undertones. Slightly sweet, the tannins are ripe with a slight dryness and provide a respectable structure. The palate is powerful in a semi-rustic fashion, more closed than open, a tad bitter but drinkable. 89/100. I then drank this with green olives, tuna salad and Greek meatballs (koftethes) and it was a good pairing.
