1996 Skouras Megas Oenos 1st Aug 1999 Price: GBP9 Origin:
Greece Style: Table Colour: Red Deep red, fading to rim, very viscous.
Dense plum and berry fruit on the nose with some mint, wood smoke and earth -
very attractive with lots of alcohol. Full bodied with inky, spicy plum fruit,
firm tannins, some acidity and lots of alcohol. Slightly dull and hollow
thanks to a large dose of sulphur - good now but breathe it well!
