Goumenissa 2016, Domaine Chatzivaritis
Date Tasted: 10/2020
I loved this wine from the first moment. It is delicious with amazing mouth-filling, refreshing and ready to enjoy now but without losing its character if it’s rested for ageing. It is a high value for money.
Appearance: Pale ruby colour.
Nose: It is fresh, with red fruits like raspberry, strawberry and red cherry, combined with graphite, spices and mushroom notes.
Palate: It is dry, with excellent balance and silky texture, almost high acidity, medium soft tannins, medium body and a medium to high vanilla-spice finish.
Drink or Hold: Perfect now but with ageing potential for more than a decade.
Food Pairing: Try it with pasta with Mediterranean red sauce, based on tomato, olives, herbs and mushrooms.
