August 25, 2013 - I have drank this wine quite a few times during the last two years, some bottles were fresher than others. One was fading, another was looking to have bright future, this was in the middle. Bottle variation to my opinion has to be due to storage.
It was fully developed without being tired it had a garnet color and although Ramnista is the most fragrant Greek red when aged, this was a little shy - root day? Still aromas were typical of Xinomavro with ripe plummy fruit, tomato leaves and olive paste. Aging has added a darker fruit dimension with licorice, tar and soy sauce. Almost lean on the palate but structured with ripe tannins for the variety and high acidity. Cleansing finish. -

February 9, 2013 - Tasted at Dionysia Wine Fair, Athens, Greece. From double magnum. Light garnet. Excellent nose, typical of an aged xinomavro, with tomato juice, currants, violets and cherry jam. Medium-bodied, fully mature with ripe tannins and high acidity. Fruit still holding very well. Long aftertaste.

December 28, 2012 - A classic aged Xinomavro with life ahead of it. Very intense nose with tomato paste, plum and olive leaves. Lean but structured palate with high flavor and good clean finish. Very individual wine, Barbaresco-like. Exceptional!

April 15, 2012 - A complete and marvellous wine that shows the variety's potential. Garnet with a tawny rim leading to a mature nose. Complex with leather, tomato, earthy notes and fresh red fruit on the background. Silky on palate with more freshness, bright acidity and medium firm tannins. Elegant drinking excellent now but it will keep for 4-6 years more. Lovely.
