still at top form, no signs of aging in color. Citrus, peach, vanilla. Great with marinated chicken ribs

surprised with how much sentiment was in the bottle. Spices, smoky, fruits. What a complex and beautiful nose this is my god, I could just smell it without drinking. It was tannic at first but then became silky in texture. Worked perfectly for holzhofer cheese and then with the flap steak.

in top form, I highly doubt it will get better then this so better open it now. High acidity, round on mouth, beautiful nose. color has some brick showing its age. it was a steal on the original price but now its way overpriced

Not a great example of the variety. Pretty flat on nose without any characteristic of the grape. skip this

3/17/2024 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

Huge concetration, almost black, impossible to see on the other side. On the nose berries, flowery, insanely good. Long aftertaste, matched perfectly the rub gallega. Need more of this in my life

Still young but the nose is too die for here. Loved to be able to afford more bottles to see how this will age

Not typical old school xinomavro nose. Quite modern approach in winemaking, tannins are strong and acid is high. Still young enough to enjoy at fullest

2/14/2024 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

still young and fresh after 5 years in the bottle. intense nose almost like a fragrant. round mouth and an acid beast. loved it!

I did the mistake to decant it for just one hour. the wine started delivering after 3 hours. Still extremely young

Light red color that you could see through it. On the nose it was shy and medium body and medium aftertaste.
Nothing I would return to

The wine looks yellow gold colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. The body is medium with oily texture. The wine has medium acidity and it's tannic like a red one. drink now, there is not much more to give 89+

one of the best wines from Greece at this price range. Full body with beautiful nose and long aftertaste. Perfect to accompany pasta with red sauce or fillet mignon with sweet potato puree

One more phenomenal Santorini that will certainly reward patient people. Not a big acidity here but wonderful nose, extraordinaire on the palate with round mouth and never-ending finish. can't wait to see what it will offer in 4-5 years from now

The wine looks silver colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like stoniness, bubblegum and cut green grass. The body is light/medium. The wine has angular texture and finishes long, high crispy acidity.

7/26/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

perfect example of how good a NZ SB can be. Green apple, fresh cut grass, pear in perfect balance with medium acidity, loved it!

7/21/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

improved since the first bottle I opened. Still young and tannins are hard again but smoother then beginning. Beautiful nose, can improve for 2-3 years at least

7/11/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

92+ old world style chardonnay, green apple, botanical, medium body and medium to high acidity

6/12/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

we are lucky that such wines are still decently prices in Greece. Phenomenal Xinomavro

6/9/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

What we have here is most likely the best Greek cab franc. The fruit on the nose is still young and mesmerizing. The body has silky texture with tannins being strong but not edgy. Love it!

5/12/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

Sweet berries jam, cinnamon and some green notes on this beautiful nose that is filling the glass with aromas. medium body with firm tannins. Medium to long aftertaste.
Perfect everyday wine

one of the best VFM wines from Greece! Tasted blindly next to way more expensive xinomavro and it was amazing! Beautiful nose and good structure. Wish I had bought more 2017's. Buy and store!

funny but the first thing that came to my mind when I smelled it was cooked chicken. Lychee,pear and hints of lemon.smooth and round on mouth gives a really polished feel.

3/22/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

This wine certainly needs some time in the cellar, although it will still bring joy next to fatty lamb chomps. Oak is dominant hiding a bit the beautiful aromas of pepper, cassis, chocolate and herbs. Tannins are strong and firm with medium body and medium to long aftertaste. 90+ now it will certainly improve

unfortunately the good days of this wine has passed. Brown color, slightly oxidized but with no charm at all like it used to. NR now used to be 96+++ 3 years ago

2/28/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

the wine aged perfectly. Yellow gold color. Nose is lemon, stone and very complex. Round in mouth with crisp acidity. Drink now or latest in 2024.

2/28/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

Beautiful nose of red fruits and vanilla. Perfect smooth tannins with long aftertaste. Want more of this

2/23/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

Color is still ruby red but there are some brick hints showing. Alcohol is not high but still visible in the nose. vegetal, red fruits. Tannins are still harsh drying the mouth some more years in the bottle will certainly make it more round.
Long aftertaste

2/16/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

One would say this is a modern age xinomavro, not the typical tomato paste and olive. Tannins are still young and time cab only tame them. Give it some time to fully enjoy 89/90 now will get 92+++

2/11/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

Pale yellow color not showing at all how much it has aged! On the nose there is burnt wood, a small hint of vanilla and citrus fruits. Medium acidity and fresh mouth with medium aftertaste. One would have thought that there should be multiple things to offer after staying 5 years in the bottle but this wine doesn't seem to evolve at all. Really strange

2/4/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

This is one of the best wines to ever come out from our beloved winery from Korinthia. Well structured with smooth tannins/ chocolate/black pepper. Tannins reveal only if you swirl it a bit in your mouth. Long aftertaste. I think its the only montepulciano made in Greece and its a very good one!

1/18/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

light yellow color. Citrus, Salty, Lemon with medium acidity and long aftertaste. Delicious entry level Riesling

1/14/2023 - Dexter Ward Likes this wine:

Dark ruby red color. Not your typical agiorgitiko nose. Strong tannins that need time to polish. wonderful aftertaste that lasts forever. Will get better with age but its already an amazing wine.

light gold color. smells like cooked chicken with herbs. On the mouth it lacks body with a bit sour aftertaste and medium acidity. Not getting back at it, ever...

dark ruby red with typical papargyriou full body. lovely nose of red fruits Strong aggressive tannins. will get better with age but still a very good wine for red meat.

Unlike the other reviews here I didn't really like the wine. Watery feel with really light body. Oldschool xinomavro smell with tomato paste. Not sure this will age well either

I wouldn't change a word from my previous review in 2020. still fresh, still sharp acidity. One more grade for getting more balanced. Love it!
