Tsantali 2005 Metoxi X Red (Mount Athos)

Black cherry, cigarbox, pepper and mocha give this vclvety red class. Sultry, integrated and unfolding, the wine offers additional warming spice, cinnamon and chocolate on the palate. Mellow black fruits and a delicious cinnamon finish seal the deal.

Tsantali 1999 Metoxi Red (Mount Athos)
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and the indigenous Limnio shows the great improvement in Greek winemaking over recent years. While the '96 version is thinning out a bit, yet stubbornly tannic, this '99 is round and supple, packed with plum, black cherry and vanilla flavors and finishes long.

Tsantali 2001 Metoxi Red (Mount Athos)
- $20
Dark earth, graham cracker and plush purple fruit aromas introduce a wealth of blueberry and black plum flavors wrapped in oaky spice. The wine is smooth from eight months in new French oak, though the oak could not fully tame such ripe, heavy tannins. Can be drunk over the next decade. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Limnio.

Tsantali 1996 Metoxi Reserve Red (Mount Athos)
- $44
Earth and tobacco, backed by modest cassis flavors that are already starting to thin out. Dry tannins mark the finish. The ’99 (non-Reserve) is a better bet.
