Bargylus, Vin Rouge 2017 Santorini

Bargylus, Vin Rouge 2017 SantoriniThe wine is as intense as you would expect from an emissary from the arid land of the crusades, with the fragrance of balsam and savoury spices plus a top note of some dried herbs, but it manages to remain wonderfully fresh and appetising on the finish too after intense, ripe, quite complex fruit. Eastern promise indeed! I really dont think many people would be disappointed by what this wine has to offer. It is 14. 6% alcohol but is chock full of

On to the palate refreshing minerality in a slightly accented attack which gives a nice lean bitterness

Lovely fruit intensity and amazing freshness

herbal and then a mocha note

It is bottled as 'vin de France' but is easily equivalent to a great Beaujolais-Villages or good Morgon

This wine displays an array of aromas including raspberry and wild strawberry notes with underlying subtle wood spices

The palate is ripe red and blue fruits with a bright acidity and more savoury spiciness

This is seriously good

meaning sweat drop

long finish

Black fruits

white flowers

It has a light ruby colour and offers all the Xinomavro aromas with forest fruits
