  February 6, 2016 - Pretty great wine here. Brilliant and appealing translucence. If a wine can have an orange/garnet inherent tint, with a blue hue, this has it. All the previous notes hold true with notes of blue raspberry, tar, as in black earth fruits, but also bright red ripe strawberry on the nose. Nice balance between residual sugar, acidity and followed by characteristic xinomavro tannin. Definitely old world and definitely delicious. Rosy and floral elements could come through in time with this wine. :)

  March 3, 2013 - To me, this is what, conceivably, a Mediterranean Pinot Noir would taste like. Quite smooth and pleasantly fruity on the start, with a nice kick of acidity on the finish. I drank this at Vinoteca in London with some marinated olives and couldn't complain one bit. It has hints of that "layered" feel you get with much more expensive wines, which is a telltale sign of QPR for me.
