Very nice wine. Very nice value. It's true to Cahors' reputation as 'the black wine'. A touch rustic which was nice with my red-wine demanding meal. It has good color for such a low price. As a bonus, it's imported by Charles Neal who I worship for his Armagnac and Calvados and other wacky wines/spirits.

The best malagousia I've had (better than Porto Carras). Not the cheapest on the market, but definitely the richest in flavor. Worth the extra few bucks, though to be honest, it is super cheap at K&L ($2 cheaper than when I order it online from New York!) Mr. Gerovassiliou is the father of this grape -- he brought it out of near-extinction. They say it taste like citrus and mangoes. I don't know about mangoes. But, I definitely get lime and tropical flavors. It hit me like a sauvignon blanc without the grass. I've had it with shellfish, and grilled fish, and canned sardines -- all worked well. Great with Burritos too. Viva la malagousia!

This wine is definitely the best indigenous wine of Greece. Dense in flavor and viscous in texture. The closest comparison I can find is a fruity, low yielding Bandol. Similar dark, structured blackberry base. I had Avaton with Lamb Harissa tonight. Very nice together. I'm excited to try it with with a full flavored steak like Ribeye or New York.
