Two Greeks

1997 Chateau Carras, Cotes de Meliton;
Pale ruby with brick rim, bell peppers, blackcurants, hints of red plum and minerals. Mature, a bit more spicey than normal for Cab, but there is some other grapes in the blend as well, a bit lean body but good intencity, tannins lingers on, a bit short finish. 81


1999 Gaia Estate, Nemea Agiorgitiko;
True ruby, a bit closed first, some floral notes, then anis and red plums. Medium body and quite intence flavours, good acidity, very ripe and mature tannins, some pepper and blueberries. Quite complex and a good length. 89
