Garnet with a ruddy hue, not quite opaque. Pure red fruits. Elegant on entry and the mid palate, medium-bodied before firm Nebbiolo-esque tannin structure bites down, lovely red fruit and tomato leaf flavour profile. Excellent. Lovely layering between the different textures, like in a top quality Barolo or Barbaresco with age.

Krotida Wine Gang Tasting, Trying Xinomavro (Simul Restaurant): The wine shows tremendous character in the nose, very expressive, old school Naoussa rustic typicity, tomato, earthy and spicy notes, but elegant overall. The wine shows powerful acidity, red cherry, rustic character again, tomato, medim tannins, fresh and ripe, some dried fruit notes in the long finish. Outstanding quality.

À l'aveugle j'aurais probablement dit un italien, sans doute un sangiovese. Rouge translucide, nez sur les fruits et un peu la terre humide, bonne acidité en bouche avec des fruits rouges, des tanins moyens et une belle longueur. Rien de très complexe mais c'est assez fin. Délicieux avec des cannellonis mais était tout aussi bon seul après le repas. Solide QPR.

Bien, un peu dur, un peu étiré, à boire.
