"The 2016 Agiorgitiko Gai'a Estate was aged for 18 to 20 months in 90% new French oak. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. It's always good to check in with some of the ones I loved after they have more time in the bottle. Suffice it to say, this ripe Nemea is still pretty gorgeous, although its ceiling is a little clearer today. It is firm on the finish, shows off some freshness and pulls in the wood better at this point, now about 18 months more in bottle from when I originally saw it. It adds all that Agiorgitiko red fruit, mostly strawberries and some hints of dry cherries, to go with a little vanilla from the new wood. It finishes with plenty of grip on that finish. It starts slowly, but it adds a fair share of intensity soon enough, a real backbone. The next day, it is vibrant, gripping and fresh. Despite that intensity, it is in a decent place now and drinking reasonably well, although definitely not at peak. It will be better next year, in 2024 or beyond. It should easily hold the rest of the decade, maybe more. I'm actually betting on more. This is a beautiful vintage for this. It still has some things to prove, but I don't see why it can't excel over the next decade and more."

“The 2016 Agiorgitiko Gai'a Estate was aged for 18 to 20 months in 90% new French oak. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. Just gorgeous, this dry and serious Estate Agiorgitiko is terrific on all fronts. Focused, precise and long on the finish, it maintains finesse and freshness despite being ripe and concentrated. The tannins are moderately ripe, so you can dive in now if you must, but the wine needs to evolve more. Give it a couple of years if you can. The one thing it most needs to acquire is expressiveness. At the moment, that is a bit muted by the wood (which it still handles surprisingly well). It seems serious and refined, but it needs to show off its Agiorgitiko character a bit more. With aeration, I saw evidence that will come. The question here is only how high the ceiling is.”
