It's been a while since my last Retsina so I actually enjoyed this one.
Way more refined and less sappy (almost Jura-like?) than I remember this style of wine from Greece.

Not to our taste - and we can see why it has been described as an acquired taste. Still, enjoy its peculiarity, and like the odd notes of pine, mustiness, and more.
