Appearance: Clear. Aroma: Icing sugar, pine, fragrant resin. Flavour & Texture: Sweet but less syrupy than other mastiha, which is agreeable. Piney, resinous flavours, a slightly dusty or earthy quality and a little flinty hardness in the aftertaste. The texture is thick and luxurious, but again less so than other mastiha. Once again a pleasant mastiha of slightly different character to others I've tasted, but they all lie within a very narrow range of variation. No complaints, but nothing outstanding either. It rates just slightly above average. Sadly this is one of only three brands we've been able to find in Australia so far, and none has been as good as those we've tasted in Greece. I guess the best stuff doesn't get exported (or maybe it was just the setting). "Average" : 79/100 (2.75 stars)
