Tasted by: James Button
(at Decanter's Mediterranean & Balkans Fine Wine Encounter, 12 May 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2020
From vines grown on schist terraces and slopes, there is a coastal influence here with strong winds that cool the vines in an otherwise warm and dry environment. Sweet cherry and raspberry fruit is accompanied by a touch of black pepper. There is a hint of jammy richness on the finish, but it remains beautifully fresh.
