Zambartas
Xynisteri
Pafos, Cyprus
Nose is neutral. Mineral and complex. Really lovely aromas. Palate is low acid and ripe. Neutral and ok. Needs to be colder. But not awful.

Drinking a 2015 at a fabulous Cypriot Restuarant.
Lovely full finish, light nose very much early taste with a pleasant blackberry aftertaste.

Actually this is a 2008 Xinisteri (ksi- ni- sté - ti). A friend brought it over late afternoon to taste it. It had a dried floral brush of terpene nose, on the palate minerals and again a brush of petrol, not a negative thing though, chalky and a touch of sherry-ish. Not sure where was kept. Slightly short finish. I could happily drinking it. It was sentimental to taste 6 year old Xinisteri. 6 years ago we were all thinking Xinisteri is good for 6 months a few pushing 9 months.
