Tart and vivacious, ripe cherry drop, lean. Good long acid, very transparent with typical old vine elegance.

Sadly, this wine was ever-so-slightly corked, so difficult to assess. Ripe and jammy, bitter balance.

This is one of the oldest-vine xinomavros out there, 80+ years I believe. It certainly has the old-vine elegance though without quite the seve, that inner density. It pours out neon-bright in the glass and gushing with fresh, just-crushed primary-fruit scents, almost like a Beaujolais. Texturally it is on the pinot noir rather than the nebbiolo side of xinomavro - extremely polished. It doesn't show any wood flavors, except that the fruit seems singed at the margins like the charcoal crust on a steak, turning gravelly with air.

Aromas of cedar wood and banana. Tangy and tart red fruit, sour cherry, very soft tannins with a medium finish.
