This is so good. Great QPR. The nose has intense aromas of cloves and bay leaf with dark cherry in the background. There’s vibrant acidity on the palate with saturated flavors mirroring the nose, with some dried herbs (like oregano) emerging as well. The finish is decent but not great length. It’s hard to complain when it’s a $20 bottle. Overall, the spice/herbs/and cherry flavors go together beautifully. The tannins are there and provide good structure, providing a slight bitter dryness at the end to contrast with the other flavors. Med/full bodied. The flavor profile reminds me a bit of some Willamette Valley pinots but with the structure of a Langhe Nebbiolo. PS - the finish seems better than I initially thought. Has decent length with spice and cherry notes lingering. — 8 days ago

Love. The aroma smells like notes of briny olives. Tannic but still smooth. — 6 months ago

Vintage 2015 | it is só rewarding to cellar Xinomavro - this wine has gained finesse and complexity - flint and still beautiful fruit (despite Diam-cork). First day with duck pâté. Second day even better, paired with charcuterie and cheese. Pour in the biggest glasses available. — 9 months ago

On the nose it reminds me almost of nebbiolo but a tiny bit more fruity. Blood orange, strawberry, a tiny bit of oak, this is very inviting. The palate is extremely well balanced, there is acid, yes, but there is width and fruit, there is a drying layer of tannins in midpalate (not unlike the ones you can find in noble piemont niebbiolo wines) along with a soft, expanding mouthfeel, and there is a long finish with that drying layer, those nice fruit notes that linger for a long while. This is really good! — 5 years ago

Lovely & enticing nose full of fresh red fruit - red berries, damson plum, a touch of cherry - paired with undergrowth / fresh tree bark. Fresh & juicy.
Medium bodied on the palate with juicy, fresh acidity and a frame of firm yet juicy & polished tannins. Red berries again with some darker notes (coffee? Dark cocoa powder? Dark nougat?).
Beautifully balanced with nice depth and quite some elegance.
Delicious, too. — 25 days ago

Such an enjoyable gem. I love the terse grippiness against the earthy fruits, so bright and alive and sippable. — a month ago
