Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The 2018 Mm is a 75/25 blend of Mandilaria and Mavrotragano aged for 18 months in used French oak. It comes in at 14% alcohol. When last seen, this was lovely and filled with promise, but another 15 months or so in the bottle has brought it around surprisingly quickly. The tannins now are soft and mostly resolved, and the structure seems not quite as distinguished as I once thought. The wine, though, is still fresh and perfectly balanced. It's a pleasure to drink and quite delicious, fruity, but the fruit is always lifted on the finish. It is now in a great place to drink. It should hold well for several more years, at least. We'll take that in stages, but it's worth noting that it is drinking perfectly now.

A blend of two indigenous red wine grapes, Mavrotragano and Mandilaria, this burgundy-hued pour has a tart nose with cranberry and tangerine aromas. There’s pleasant acidity on the palate, and the bold tannins that can overpower some warm-climate reds have been softened by careful winemaking that includes stainless-steel vinification followed by several months in French oak. The resulting wine is bold but balanced, and would be an excellent partner for lamb, beef or roasted root vegetables.
