This is a fruity yet astringent Greek red.

Vintage 2017 - Infanticide. Put this wine away for three to five years and be amazed afterwards...

Way to young. Too much bitters.

Wine from 600 year old Greek grapes. Production is limited to 7,500 bottles per year, one of which we were lucky enough to be introduced to at Retro Bottega. Described as a wine with 'le rondeu d'un Bourgogne et la puissance d'un Languedoc'. Deliciously long with licorice notes. Yum!

Seriously impressive. I think professionals would have a hard time distinguishing this form a good quality Barolo. Very complex and sophisticated.

Really deserves much better distribution, a real classic Xinomavro from Naoussa.

Old-fashioned, Italianate, rustic. Nice bitter balance. Evolved, perfumed aromas. Some red currants but not much about fruit. Earth. Long finish.

Young and beautiful, taken before its time. Can't wait to get more to age!
