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

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. — 10 days ago
