Classic bricky colour of Liatiko even in youth. The aromas are classic too: sweet and dried red cherry, red plums that are ripe but not quite as dried as prunes, even if they are heading in that direction, sweetly spiced, just a little bit leathery. Cherry liqueur even though it is a dry wine. Remarkably juicy given the quite fierce tannins, which are accentuated by the high acidity. Dry and chewy and absolutely needs food now. Even though the colour suggests a mature wine, this needs a few years more in bottle to show all the complexity of this variety made in this ‘rustic’, traditional style. Beware if you are not familiar with it – it is a classic Cretan wine but may be a shock if you want a fruity red for immediate consumption. 17 points
