Dry, Still, Red, Cabernet Sauvignon, Agiorgitiko, Ages well, 13% alc.
A kind of solera system blending older vintages of MegasOenos with wine coming from recent vintages without empting the barrel. Skouras executes a balancing act between fresh and ageing characteristics for this special edition of MegasOenos, like a Greek version of Vega Sicilia’s Unico.

Tasting notes: The color is deep purple with some red brick hues. The nose is ripe, concentrated, with great depth and complexity. The aromatic character is focused on mature red fruits expressed as cherry, raspberry and cherry with bacharenious characters such as nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper. Notes of herbs and cedar unfold. In the mouth it is thick, full, soft with well structured tannins and lively acidity. Both mature and as new once. Perfumes oral closely follow those of the nose with all the features even more toned. The aftertaste has elegance, power, complexity, giving the impression that will last forever. |
