Ktima Karipidis Petasos Syrah 750ml (2017), Red Dry Wine

Tasting Characteristics

The deep ruby color immediately refers to a variety with intense pigments and phenolic elements, while the blue reflections in the glass give a first indication of the young age of the wine. Clean nose, with a typical Syrah character, detected through aromas of ripe black fruits and raspberries, while a combination of spicy, such as pepper and sweet, such as vanilla spices, are a reference both to the peppery character of the variety, and to the twelve-month use of oak. Hints of violet give an additional floral character to the nose which is combined with some botanical hints. In the mouth the wine is dry with a moderate body, acidity which balances the 'juicy' fruit while the level of tannins is moderate and we would say that they are also 'soft'. Medium-lasting aftertaste, with a vanilla oak feel.
