What makes a wine beautiful?
To The Black Olive all of this is important as we strive to build the best wine list the Mid-Atlantic has ever seen! Follow us as we reach for that goal.
Megas Oenos by Skouras
A dozen years ago, when the Black Olive Restaurant opened, Dimitris started getting this wine. As a result we have a vertical. Which would just be normal if this wine was from France or California, but it seems that no one at that time, and few people now, really collected Greek reds, aging them and dealing with them on the level that they actually are
on. This wine is consistently beautiful and perfect to age. The varietals are Cabernet Sauvignon and Agiorghitiko. We tried the latest vintage at the bar on a perfect Friday night, and even young it is balanced and spectacular. It opens up down the bottle, wrapping itself in warm embrace with good food. If you have loot, try out the oldest bottle on the vertical! But if you are normal, like me, just enjoy the heck out of the latest vintage (and tuck yourself a couple away every year). We will no doubt have this one at the wine market at the new Inn.
