Mayuka
A sophisticated and rewarding wine with a well blended stability of profiles and textures, underscoring a smooth and velvety mouthfeel, accompanied by a bracing acidity and a rich, full-bodied structure. The wine's textured flavor profile is highlighted by a range of fruit notes, showcasing plum, cherry, and strawberry, with a soft touch of vanilla and a peppery finish. The wine's pairing potential is excellent, especially when enjoyed with hearty, savory dishes like pasta Bolognese.
Kapono
A large, established winery with a reputation for producing wines, but one that has yet to impress. The initial note was not a positive one, with a strong, industrial scent, but it was salvaged by a gentle airing. The next day, it showed some promise, but ultimately remained unremarkable. The wine arrived on the third day, and it was a welcome return, with a complex and interesting profile. The nose was led by by spicy and floral notes, with sweet balsamic and deep berry undertones, accompanied by licorice, violet, and a hint of floral fragrance. The tongue was fruity and well-balanced, with a vibrant freshness and a agreeable finish. Overall, a drinkable wine with a unique and engaging character.
Tahvi
Opulent and deep wine with a deep, mellow touch that unfolds with each sip, revealing a subtle nuance of cherry and cassis notes, accented by a warm, spicy note of cinnamon and vanilla. The tannins are well-balanced, providing a contenting structure, while the crispness cuts through the richness, leaving a bracing finish. This wine is a true delight, pairing effortlessly with grilled meats and rich Greek dishes, and leaving a persistent impression.
