Sourced from old vines (50+ years) in the Rasto sub-appellation of Amyndeon, this is rather soft and sweet for the grape on opening (although the sweetness is a touch of wood that dissipates), with good acidity. The soft impression does not last long, as it has some serious tannins. As powerful as this is, it shows less rusticity than some I’ve seen this issue. The balance just seems to work better. The mid-palate makes this seem delicate—or you could say it has finesse.
