Βλασίδης Ερυθρός 2008 - Vlassides Erythros (Red) 2008

Τοπικός οίνος Λεμεσού (ίσως Grenache, Lefkada, Cabernet Sauvignon),
Κοιλάνι Λεμεσός Κύπρος
2008
Οινοποιείο Βλασίδη

Ευχάριστες ταννίνες και ζωηρότητα λόγο οξύτητας. Ξεχώρισα αρώματα και γεύσεις άγουρων κόκκινων φρούτων, κυρίως κερασιών και φραμπουάζ (raspberry). Περιορισμένο μπουκέτο. Υψηλόβαθμο κρασί με αναζοογωνητική γεύση σε χαμηλές (12-14C) θερμοκρασίες.
Σαφώς πολύ καλή τιμολόγιση (ίσως το καλύτερο Κυπριακό ερυθρό στα €5) με ψηλό value/money.
86/100, σίγουρα θα το ξαναγόραζα.

Regional wine Limassol (maybe Grenache, Lefkada, Cabernet Sauvignon),
Kilani Limassol Cyprus
2008
Winery Vlasidi

Pleasant tannins and vividness because of the acidity. Aromas and flavors of red berries, especially cherry and raspberry. Limited bouquet. Refreshing taste when enjoyed in low (12-14C) temperatures.
Pricing is very good (maybe the best Cyprus red for only € 5) with high value / money ratio.
86/100 definitely will buy again.

The first nose is grassy with notes or citrus and lemon. The taste is bold and crispy. It is definitely very refreshing. Drink it as fresh as possible.

Raring 85/100. I would definitely buy this wine again.

Why this blog?

Hello everybody,

You should all wonder why this blog? Why bother? Well, it is because I needed somewhere to "dump" my thoughts and findings about tasting wine and maybe share it with friends and other people who will come across this blog.

Please bare with me and all I write. Sometimes I will write in Greek which is my mother language but I will try to write in English.

Please feel more than welcome to send me you your ideas and comments. Please note that I have no personal interest or desire to have personal interest on my review.

All the best
