Biblia Chora, ‘Sole’ 2017

Pinot Noir is a tough bet for the Greek producers mainly due to climatic issues. There are though a handful of producers that try hard to present decent wines that first of all can be called, Pinot Noir. Among them, Biblia Chora from Pangaio terroir in Northern Greece consistently produces a very good example. 2017 Sole is aromatic and fruity on the nose, - New World in style - with ripe cherries and pungent spice. Very inviting, soft and slightly riper on the palate with a fairly long finish. I would like the finish to be more savoury but there is vivacity providing good balance. Delicious now, will further improve.
