    This is a good bookend to the Skouras Grande Cuvee that I posted on recently. Agiorgitiko is often soft and simple. These two had more.

    This Agiorgitiko from Skouras can hold longer thanks to its structure. Still asserting itself, with some tannic pop and good acidity to boot, it is vibrant. But in the mid-palate, it's all finesse, ending with typical red fruits. Although maturing, they aren't giving up the ghost, tasty on the juicy finish.The nose is a bit older, but it and the wine overall are far better the next day. It went from interesting to terrific.

    Greek white season is here!

    But your regularly scheduled programming now pauses for an unusual red.

    Domaine Skouras (near Nemea) took some juice from its Megas Oenos brand (80/20 Agiorgitiko & Cab Sauvignon, mostly old  Peloponnesevines) & also made this table wine solera--Labyrinth. "9908" means, beginning with the 1999 vintage through the 2008 for this release. This is one of the older releases.

  10. This Tselepos-Driopi had classic red fruit flavor from Agiorgitiko early on, and power, but time has pulled everything together perfectly. The flavors are more mature, a touch earthier, and the wine is well integrated. It's a beauty, in fact, still firm on the finish, with a backbone. Nice performance, nearing age 15.

    14%, $40-ish.

    Deep, powerful and still laced with red fruits, this is lively, if relatively mature in fruit profile. The tannic pop is a bit surprising, but this is doing well. I probably liked the elegant '08 better. This 07 is a bit denser, but it does evolve and get better with air. 14%, mid-$30s. #wine @ktimabibliachora #agiorgitiko #winesofgreece

  12. Part 3: last part.

    But it integrates that well with air and drank great. It's the better wine, but not by as much as I expected and the Areti overachieved. This can still age, but it is great now. Under $25 on release.

  13. I loved this the first time I saw it. It is doing beautifully, developing gracefully and slowly. There's a hint of tartness on opening that cuts the fruity demeanor. It has good concentration, precision, elegance and focus. It's also delicious. The Greek Pinot Noir? I dunno, there are many style variations. But I did try the Riedel Pinot Extreme glass with it this time, which worked great. About $50 as a suggested retail, probably less on the street. #winesofgreece #agiorgitiko #Wine
