The mere fact that you have to you probably the oldest cultivated variety in the world is enough to 'stretch the hand and buy this bottle Limnio. If argue in the fact that it is one of the finest Greek wines in the style of a fine Burgundy, then it must be your cellar adorned with this jewel of the Greek vineyard.
Clear, light ruby color intensity. Restrained nose, full of personality, however, with small red fruits and fresh herbs that are mind boggling with stylish barrel and a spicy peppery note. Dry mouth with relatively light body and high quality velvet-soft tannins. Rounded corners and no sharp points. The barrel slightly spicy in the mouth, fully balanced and clear but enjoyable aftertaste. 3-4 years in the dynamics of the bottle if the wine is already delicious. A wine that shows the high potential of a strain lacks the glamor of the past and bring history back, but in the right hands can impress.
