Dougos Rapsani Old Vines 2016

(Single vineyard, Old vines, 65% Xinomavro along Krassato and Stavroto)

Medium garnet. Complex yet tight nose. Red fruit on the ripe side along meaty, brezaola notes. Intensely spicy with pepper and cardamon scents. Sweetly fruited on palate, packed with firm tannins. Medium bodied, savoury and overall very elegant, this will need time to lose its baby fat. For the long run. (Greece&Grapes €16.60)
