 Tasted by Old Prop on 12/27/2023 & rated 90 points: Straight out of the bottle, sour, one dimensional, nothing much happening. After a 3 hour decant, it started singing. The astringent sourness had disappeared and was replaced with sweet strawberries, and the tannins evolved. In a few words - decant before drinking. (326 views)
 Tasted by RolfPalla on 5/31/2022: Dette var en god vin. Luftet med hurtiglufter. 2017 (1311 views)
 Tasted by Monte Tøyen on 5/16/2022: På overnattingstur rottungen (1234 views)
 Tasted by Robjes on 2/26/2022 & rated 86 points: Beetroot, dark fruit, licorice, leather. (1386 views)
 Tasted by Porters Wines on 12/8/2021 & rated 91 points: Good booze, great Greek red with a Greek feast.
Easy drinking, everyday wine. Pleasure (1833 views)
 Tasted by arildand on 11/25/2021 & rated 90 points: Still maturing nicelly, best bottle I’ve had of this so far. (1627 views)
 Tasted by Arca on 7/31/2021 & rated 100 points: Klarrött vin som vi reserverade kylt med ris-och svampfyllda paprikor. Första gången vi provar druvan Xinomavro (vad vi vet efter år av omedvetet vindrickande). Gillas!
Syrliga körsbär, hög syra, örter, kanel, skogssvamp, bra sting i tanninerna. Skriver kanske mer sen om vinet öppnar upp sig mer. (1606 views)
 Tasted by danme on 7/15/2021 & rated 90 points: Clear red in color. Herbs, vanilla and strawberries on the nose. Medium bodied with berry character, a lot of strawberries. Very nice with stuffed peppers, kalamata and feta. (1430 views)
 Tasted by adamanko on 6/11/2021 & rated 90 points: Serve well chilled and this is a beautiful summer wine.

Edit: Opened another bottle and this was much better the second day. Really good to a light chicken dish. But around 90. But it will hold. (1633 views)
 Tasted by Dexter Ward on 5/2/2021 & rated 77 points: Unfortunately i wasnt satisfied from this wine. Light Transparent red color almost at the edge of being called Rose. On the nose it was dead with nothing really good to offer. On the mouth it was sour and not enjoyable (1529 views)
 Tasted by Tor Eivind on 3/19/2021 & rated 88 points: Klar, dyp rød. Oransje mot glasset.

Ferske Røde bær, sure sure kirsebær/rips/tyttebær (1669 views)
 Tasted by FjordogFjell on 2/27/2021 & rated 90 points: PnP Zalto Bx. Krydder og hagebær på nesen. Elegant og fin frukt med ferske urter ala bergmynte. 1 dag i flaske. Tyttebær med lett frukt og svak sødme, god syre. 1 uke i flaske: Parfymert lukt med røde bær. Sødmefull smak med bringebær (1639 views)
 Tasted by MaJeKu on 2/3/2021 & rated 86 points: Startet in der Nase sehr beerig und hell, dunkelt aber mit Luft deutlich zu kirschigen Noten nach. Darunter angedeutete kräutrige und florale Noten sowie etwas dunkles Gestein, fein gemahlen.
Am Gaumen hat’s dann ebenfalls einen sehr dunklen Kern und ist, insbesondere auch durch recht hohe Säure, sehr saftig.

Insgesamt ist der Wein eher einfach gehalten, hat aber trotzdem eine interessante eigenständige Art.

Ein Essen tut ihm gut, bei uns war es heute Pasta mit Ragu.

In der Tat ein schöner Dienstags-Wein, as advertised. (1766 views)
 Tasted by kristen.jomas on 1/25/2021 & rated 90 points: Fruity smell, fresh with medium acid. Clear tannins, but very balanced. Medium + length. Loved it ! (1562 views)
 Tasted by mjohn on 1/25/2021 & rated 90 points: Pale garnet colour. Aromas changed over time, going from fruity cherry and raspberry, to more herbal and tobacco. Towards the end reminded me of caramel Lotus Biscoff biscuits.

Subtle tannins and balanced by good acidity. Palate wasn’t as complex as the nose, but very enjoyable. Juicy while still elegant. I was left wanting more. (1731 views)
 Tasted by kingkanu on 1/14/2021: Medium light body, pretty nose, approachable and easy but interesting to drink although it seemed to tire after a few hours (1536 views)
 Tasted by Slehm on 12/26/2020: Brunrød farge, gjennomskinnelig. Bringebær i nesen. Jord, røde bær, fiken. PN-aktig. Halvlang ettersmak. Bedre etter lufting et par timer. Vel verd 215 Kr. 89 poeng (1464 views)
 Tasted by asheio on 12/22/2020 & rated 88 points: Red fruit, violets and tea on the nose. Juicy, fresh acidity, some tannins. I guess it will be a good combination with numerous light dishes. (1215 views)
 Tasted by fedtmule on 12/18/2020 & rated 88 points: Bringebær på nesen (1231 views)
 Tasted by Hmidtgard on 12/18/2020: Gresk aften vin 3. Svarstad. 215kr. God men, vin 2 bedre. (1103 views)
 Tasted by guy12 on 12/14/2020 & rated 90 points: light red fruits, lovely savoury notes med= finish, excellent (1264 views)
 Tasted by AudunG on 12/9/2020 & rated 88 points: Light, transparent red, almost purple. Strong floral flavors with blackcurrant jam and some herbs. Evident, but delicate acidity like in redcurrant. Quite full bodied with a lot of sweet fruit, but the acidity balances out everything to a delicious and savoury wine. (1328 views)
 Tasted by S. Connery on 12/5/2020 & rated 88 points: Middels mørkerød farge. Hint av bringebær på lukt. Saftig smak, rund, raffinerte tanniner. Lang, bløt ettersmak. (1336 views)
 Tasted by Danneskjöld on 11/28/2020 & rated 90 points: Litt floralt. Røde bær. Mer og mer lakris med luft. Fruktig og saftig på smak. God syrlighet og lette tanniner. Lang utgang.

God og elegant. En kombinasjon av nebbiolo og pinot. Synd jeg fremdeles ikke er glad i lakris. (1435 views)
 Tasted by Torchy on 11/8/2020 & rated 91 points: This is a wonderfully juicy and refreshing wine. Fresh nose of juicy red fruit, some allspice, leather, and kirsch. Fruit fest on the palate. Whitewashed minerality and blurry, soft tannins. Would argue that this just as well could have been a more lavish Burgundy. (1510 views)
