Vintage 2012 | Xinomavro shows its capacities after a lot of years in the cellar. Ten years in this case to show a combined spicyness and fruitiness in smell, leather, even some chocolate.

Excellent. One of the best Greek reds I’ve had. Medium body with a beautiful ruby color. Fantastic nose of dried herbs, bright cherry and cola. It is clean but still very Greek. You can sense the rocky place from which is comes. I should’ve bought a case

Spicy and unique, somewhere between a Gamay and a Nebbiolo.

Big boys toys.
Face melting tannin with just, just enough fruit weight to be enjoyable.

Red and blue fruits, soil, stewed tomatoes, tar, very high tannins and very Nebbiolo like.
