Why do we love it?
The anniversary Labyrinth 21 Domaine Skouras just arrived in our cellar! The absolutely collectible wine of Domaine Skouras contains 21 vintages and was made to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution of 1821. The luxurious box also includes a collection with the words of General Makrygiannis and is available in only 1000 bottles, of which available only 300 will be distributed in the Greek market!
Labyrinth is an innovative wine made with the method of solera. This means that in an oak barrel of 1000 liters are aging, not one but many consecutive vintages. In 2001, the vintage of 1999 of Megas Oenos entered the 1000-liter barrel for the first time. Megas Oenos is the flagship of George Skouras. The blend consists of Agiorgitiko (80%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) which come from old vines, which grow at an altitude of 700 meters. The wine ages for 18 months in new French oak barrels. Shortly before Megas Oenos is bottled, a quantity of selected barrels enters the barrel of the Labyrinth. After bottling the Labyrinth, the wine ages for 12 months in the bottle.
The Labyrinth 21 Domaine Skouras is a symbolic wine, which unites yesterday with today and is absolutely collectible.
Tastes Like
Labyrinth 21 Domaine Skouras has deep ruby color and complex aromas of cherry, strawberry, plum, sour cherry, dried fig, blackberry, vanilla, cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, dried nuts, coffee, and tobacco.
On the palate it has a rich body, firm but ripe tannins, and balanced acidity. Dried fruits such as plum and cherry are mixed with fresh sour cherry, strawberry, and bilberry, on an earthy and spicy background. The enjoyable coffee aftertaste that lasts.
