Lovely mature burgundy colour. A delicious hint of black olives on a fruit-driven nose. Soft and mature fruit in the mid palate. Well-rounded tannins take all these flavours through to an excellent fruit-driven finish of great length where flavours of dried dates abound. Its robust and rich taste gives it the potential to match well with rich foods, making them more palatable. It has an excellent gustative affinity with anything containing tomato, from a simple meat in tomato sauce stew, such as "kokkinisto", to even oven-baked fish in tomato sauce. Its favourite cheeses are those that, like the wine, have an intense character, such as Kefalotyri, Batsos of Naousa, and most mature medium hard cheeses. Best served at 19 oC.
