Naoussa v Super Naoussa Tasting @ Le Petit Sommelier 11/16/2011 Blind tasting. Garnet colour. Mmm Xin typicity on the nose: tomatoes in all their forms, (fresh, pulped & candied), olives, herbs as well as stewed dark & red fruits. Medium body, high acidity & tannins. Good dusty fruit on the palate with even some leather & earth emerging later on both nose & palate.

Translucent ruby color, medium body Very structured with sharp acid followed by strong tannin. Red cherry fruit. Very chalky/limestone texture, almost like sticking a piece of slate in your mouth. Would have confused for Piedmont blind. Too young.

Tasted one day after the 2006 vintage, very similar, so similar tasting notes. This one was slightly more elegant with riper tannins, if leaner (in a good sense). Fantastic wines in any case.
