A juicy yet serious Greek red - it beautifully opens up in the glass, with bright fruit notes and an underlying savoury character.
Red fruits, spice, and a touch of dusty earth on the nose. Medium on the palate and full of juicy fruit, with raspberry, redcurrant, red cherry, dark plums, orange peel, dried herbs, rhubarb, liquorice, spice, and a slight meaty quality. Light earthy tannins balanced with a delicious concentrated acidity. Long and savoury on the finish.
Decant before serving.
