My first experience with this varietal, I think. Attractive fruity nose with floral notes, but on the palate I found it very dry, even a bit austere. Food-friendly, but not a sipper. The price is reasonable, and the screwcap closure is a plus in my book, but overall I didn't find this wine as compelling as many others in its price range.
Easy drinking and certainly not unpleasant, but unremarkable in my view, even for this price. I found it quite flat in comparison to the "zesty" and "lively" descriptions shared by others.
This is a wine that suits drinking with food, rather than sipping on its own. Aroma and taste has components of cherries with a subtle herbaceous quality. The overall profile was on the lighter side, with a good finish. A nice wine to try to say you've tried Greek wines.
Not particularly deep or exciting, I'm afraid. Simple black fruit, a bit hollow tasting and old coffee grounds. Little tannin. Short finish. Ok, but I had hoped for better. Not a repeat purchase for me. Tasted March 2014.
