Unyielding, firm, tight and tannic. Subdued red fruits; old school style & a touch volatile. The only saving grace was a sweet fruit finish, but I feel this is past it. CHP 83 pts

Albeit not their top end of wines still we love Xinomavro in the hands of producers like this , even young . Charming and elegant, soft fruit, full of charecter and effortlessly drinkable. Solid 90

Purchased from the Wine Society having read quite a bit of hype of this. First time for me having Xinomavro. Enjoyed over two days.
Nose of initial nose of raspberry and (oh Black Betty) bramble jam! The dried orange and tomato, some mineral spice. Really quite generous and inviting
Palate brings back the raspberry and some sour cherry - all fresh and crunchy. A good amount of acidity and fine but present tannins. Really delicious
This opened up a lot more after a night corked in the fridge. If i'd had blind i'd have shot for Nebbiolo (the cherry, the tannin finish) but this is rather unique and lovely. Glad I bought a few of these and can see going back to the well given the excellent QPR

Tomato and herbs on the savoury nose. Cranberry on the palate? Fine-grained tannins. Reminded me of a Nebbiolo in structure more than in flavour.
