Ftelia 2008, Tsolis Estate
Date Tasted: 12/2021
It is a lovely aged wine from an area considered the source for the best Cabernet Sauvignon in Greece.
Appearance: Deep garnet colour.
Nose: The intense ripe red berries are enjoyable. It is very complex with tobacco, plum, chocolate and coffee. It has a delicate and class expression.
Palate: It is medium-bodied with noble tannins and high acidity. Excellent balance. The fruit flavours are juicy and intense with vanilla, clove and cinnamon. It has a long, delicious and complex finish.
Drink or Hold: It is gorgeous now and for eight years more.
Food Pairing: A prime steak or lamb chops are great partners.
