Medium ruby colored bordering on a touch of garnet for this 4 year old wine. The nose has aromas of black cherry, blackberry, stewed black plum, anise, cedar shake, nutmeg, hummus (earthy) and garigue. The palate is dry with medium (-) acidity and medium (+) tannins. Medium to full-bodied I get flavors of black fruit, some stewed notes indicating age, oak influence (cedar) and anise with some earthiness. The tannins grip for a long while on the medium length finish. I like this 90 point wine and think it is at peak. Drink till 2025 with grilled meats or heavy baked dishes like Moussaka. For $18 it’s a great intro to this decidedly Greek varietal. 5 stars. Salut….
