Efrosini Winery – Philoxenia 2017

The Philoxenia Syrah-Kotsifali 2017 from the Cretan Efrosini Winery delivers classic notes of dried strawberries and rose petals. The tannins here are noticeably rounder than in the Syrah-Mandilaria combination, though the long finish adds little new to the picture. At 14.5% alcohol, a solid example of this cuvée. 89 points.
