Mega Spileo Grand Cave Dry Red 2014

Product Details

This is a blend of indigenous mavrodafne and mavro kalavrintino aged a very long 31 months in oak, most of it French wood. Despite this much barrel age and five years bottle age it is just starting to show mature character. The colour is fairly deep ruby garnet. The nose is a terrific [array] of fine cedar, tobacco, brown spices, sandalwood and deep berry fruit. The fragrance reminded me of fine Bordeaux. It is medium-full bodied, quite elegant if hot and brusque on the palate, and the tannins are quite firm and drying. Overall however, nicely put together with excellent length. Bring on the lamb. Now to 2028.
