So, please find below the description of Mirambelo, given by Ms. Jancis Robinson!

"Mirambelo 2010 Peza: Kotsifali and Mandilaria grapes grown on Crete give a hugely distinctive wine with the scents of dried laurel leaves and no excess sweetness. Bone-dry fine wine. Not that intense but complex, distinctive and interesting. 13%".
