2022 Argatia - Red Blend Macedonia Haroula (750ml)
16+ Points
"Full bottle 1,324 g. A blend of 75% Xinomavro, 15% Mavrodaphne and 10% Negoska fermented in stainless-steel tanks. Krasta vineyard in Rodochori, at 260 m, organically farmed. Lees stirring for 4 months in tanks, no oak. Named after the owner and winegrower Haroula Spinthiropoulou. RS 1.7 g/l, TA 6.4 g/l, pH 3.59.
Mid crimson. Inviting dark-red fruits and just a touch of tomato leaf. Mostly sweet cherry and yet there's a slight earthy savour adding depth to the aroma. Firmly tannic – young and as-yet unresolved tannins – thanks to the Xinomavro and the Negoska and you would definitely need to drink this with food if you approached it now. But better to wait a year or so. Pure fruit at first then really grippy on the finish. Deliciously dry aftertaste. My drinking window may be overly cautious."
