Maybe should have opened this sooner than 8 years — and my cellar is fine thank you. It’s rich and balanced but an unpleasant sour taste. There’s not enough to ruin the merlot classiness. It’s just not an elegant drink. — a year ago

Very little aroma followed by clean acids, bright mineral with citrus. A slight effervescence adds to the lively refreshing taste. Perfectly poured into an evening in Athens. — a year ago

We couldn’t wait for this bottle to age to its sophistication. Even young, this is the fine expression of Cabernet grapes. Rich deep flavors with enough tannin to still rank smooth and bring out the tastes. — 4 months ago

Dry and well balanced with rich flavors. A bitterness that’s enough to detract some. — a year ago

Clear clean and slightly crisp. Passion fruit of the Sauv Blanc on the aroma without the over done gooseberry flavors. Dry with mineral and acid brightness. — a year ago
