Gaia S

It been ages since I last tried this one and once again after all these years the Syrah is more prominent in my view vs the agiorgitiko. Feels boozy with very ripe fruit, relatively mild tannins for its age and linear. It’s obviously quite young but I am not sure of its improvement potential. 87-88

Sample tasting at work (Oinoscent) : sampled via coravin Very different fruit expression after the S 2020, the fruit is way more on the blue berry side, whole spice, the bitter herbal element is far more in check here. The alcohol is less prominent. Palate shows the same fruit core, the alcohol comes up a bit more, tannins equally "calm" as the 2020, med body and finish
