This great wine was tasted recently with slow cooked Greek lamb and potatoes and sliced mushrooms and gravy. A truly wonderful wine drinking superbly right now but will cellar for another 10 easy. This wine belies the 14.5% alcohol and indeed is refined, reserved and above all in superb balance. It seems only medium to full bodied and has a nose of dark fruits and some earth, leather and chocolate. The palate is as clear and clean as a bell with great structure, great length and the greatest of complex and balanced flavours. Tannins are now completely settled and integrated. If only we could get another dozen of these; this shows what wonderfully expressive wines can be made from this area with the right approach.
