"Wine Advocate" 2018: Myesis 2015: 87/100: “the 2015 Myesis has finesse, a fresh feel, and it's full of flavor, with complexity around the edges. It adds a little dried cherry and raspberry mingled with some herbs. This is something you can drink a bit cooler than normal. It has a summer-red feel to it, but there's reasonably good structure”.

Jancis Robinson 2019: Foivos Myesis 2014: 15,5/20 “ Deep crimson. Initially quite reductive (smoky/rubbery) on the nose, and a touch of coffee, which I think is from the oak. There's lovely dark fruit underneath but it is rather overwhelmed by the oak – in terms of sweetness and thickness of texture – though the tannins are smooth.”
