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.

1 person found it helpfulJan 24th, 2016Grippy, spicy, a little gamy with red fruits and flowers to round it out. Addictive and has you constantly reaching for another sip to figure out everything that's going on.

Apr 23rd, 2016Full of dried herbs (oregano), dried cherry and a whiff of kirsch. Some wilted flowers, too. Not unlike a good Nebbiolo. On the palate juicy, with bright acidity and mouth coating, dry, finely grained tannins. Medium bodied but with fine presence. Light cherries on crushed rocks. Good length, a touch dry, but with a mineral streak in the finish.
This is truly a excellent wine, in the league of many great Barolos.
