Kir-Yianni Dyo Elies 2016 is a red blend from Naousa, Greece, made from 60% Syrah, 30% Merlot and 10% Xinomavro at 14.5% ABV. It is aged 16 months in French and American oak casks, then a further six months in bottle before release.
Deep red in colour, the wine shows a lush nose of smoky, caramel and vanilla notes over ripe red fruit and chocolate. The palate is full, with volume, a rich structure and a lipsmacking freshness that leads to a lingering, spicy finish. It is the Kir-Yianni red for drinkers who enjoy the ripe, oak-framed style of international varieties, with a Greek accent from the Xinomavro.
Open it now with meats that carry bold, aromatic flavours: lamb with herbs, grilled steak or slow-cooked beef. It will also reward patience, with a cellaring window of 12 to 15 years. Ralph's brings it in directly, with Metro Manila delivery.
