Evangelos Bagias Petite Sirah

Also purchased from Naked Wines: Day 1 - Right from the bottle, dark garnet in color, very good viscosity. Lots of plum, dark grape on the nose. On the palate, it follows and continues with plum and dark grape 🍇 with some graphite notes underneath, along with leather on first taste. Heavy grape, earthy flinty base and moderate complexity. But very full-bodied with chocolate appearing in the second glass as this continues to open up. Ends with graphite, moderately dry …

Liked it! Dry, jam forward, slight weird aftertaste

Naked wines. Huge fruit nose on opening and sniffing. Deep dark color. Moderately Tanic. Mildly acidic. Violet, leather, tobacco. Much less fruit on the pallet that on the nose.

Surprisingly "jammy" at first, backed by plum and blackberry. Strong tannins and a dryness at the finish.

Bold and very tannic. Strong dry finish. Both more acidic and a little sweeter than I was expecting. Fairly one dimensionally red grapey at room temperature, but more black plummy, blueberry, and peppery after a brief chill in the fridge - although this is me being generous, as I'd love more complexity, especially more earthiness or dark chocolate. I hope I'm not being too mean, as I only gave it an hour to breathe.

Finding I'm not a big fan of Sirah's, but putting that aside this one had a clean smooth taste.
