Popped and poured; consumed over an hour. The 2018 Nostros Blend is an interesting combination of Rhône varieties. A GSM with a touch of Roussanne. The wine pours a deep garnet color with medium+ viscosity; faint staining of tears. On the nose, a combination of ripe and stewed red, black and blue fruits, oiled leather ball glove, black pepper, olive tapenade, salmiakki, tomato leaf, dry rocky minerals and just a hint of warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium (+?) tannin, medium acid. Alcohol is medium + but comes across a touch hot. Finish is long and spicy. My favorite red so far from Manousakis. Should drink well through the end of the decade. I can sense Laurence Féraud’s hand on this ❤️ — 2 years ago

Patio pounder - goes down like water on a hot day. — 7 years ago
Popped and poured; no formal notes. The wine is light ruby with abundant ripe red bramble fruits, bruised strawberry, warm spices. The structure is basically medium; medium tannin and medium acid. Not the most complex Grenache out there but it gives me a lot of Southern Rhone vibes. Tasty. — 2 years ago
Nice body! Crushed rock and apricots. Yum. — 3 years ago
Medium bodied, good concentration and length, with floral and melon flavours. A very good vibrant wine. Conceptually somewhere between a Godello and a Chenin Blanc. — 5 years ago
Terrific core acidity and other assyrtiko characteristics blended with the best qualities of mace ration and oxidation. Very versatile. — 6 years ago
2014 is a big, smoky Syrah, mandilari, and merlot blend. Could age another 10 years, the Greek alternative to a Rhône blend that will change your perceptions of Crete. — 7 years ago
