Shop review: This is a bit compact, quite elegant in the mid-palate, but it is pure, velvety and lovely, with a notable backbone. There is a little oak, but that should integrate. It won't immediately be a 'wow' wine, but I predict it will grow on you as it grew on me. It was better after an hour or so. Fragrant, crisp and intensely flavorful, this Agiorgitiko has some nods to Burgundy, given its graceful presentation, aromatics and structure. It finishes well and should be a crowd pleaser, making everyone from novices to geeks happy.
My review: While the review says that the oak should integrate, at first all I could smell was oak. Other than that, all else I could smell was butter. Upon tasting, it was also very oaky and had some floral tastes but other than that I couldn't pick out any other specifics. It almost seemed like a watered down wine honestly. It was a very bland wine. I tried it on its own without food.
