Monemvasia 2014 Monemvasios Red (Laconia)

We love a well-aged red, so were delighted to discover that this beauty is the estate’s current release. After eight years, one senses the barrique-aging (70% new!) only inferentially, as the wine has achieved a glorious balance of dark-toned Agiorgitiko fruit, silky texture and salty undertow. A perfect 2005 drunk at the property testified to how beautifully such innately well-constructed wines can age.
