2013 P.G.I. Ismaros Mavroudi Maronia, Macedonia / Μακεδονία, Greece

Nutty nose, slightly earthy and tobacco, red and some black berries, some laurel and juniper. Ripe, partly preserved fruit on the palate, nutty oak, hint of cocoa, mature, fine-sandy tannins, slightly persistent, earthy and tobacco notes, not particularly deep, has some warmth, peppery spicy notes, quite a good finish.
