June 10, 2016 - Semi-translucent dark red. Cherry, warm oak spice, and tobacco on the nose. Full bodied, blueberries, blackberries, copious sweet tannins, good acid, leather, dried cherries, and a fairly short finish. This was surprisingly good, very good.

December 23, 2012 - Garnet, wonderful nose showing quality of vintage: forest fruits, plums, sweet spices, ripe vine/sun dried/fresh/stewed tomatoes. Medium bodied, big tannins that need grilled meat or some years to settle. Sharp acidity complementing the bright yet sweet fruit. 90 now & will improve in years to come.

February 29, 2012 - Dark ruby. Gorgeous, ultra-clean and continuously evolving nose of currants, black plums, candied tomato, tobacco, violets and sweet spice. Medium-bodied with big tannins that beg for time to resolve, rich fruit and balancing acidity. Long aftertaste. A textbook modern xinomavro. Modernized without compromising its character. The fruit/tannins combination reminds me of a modern Barolo such as D. Clerico's Ciabot Mentin Ginestra. Needs time or a rich meat-based dish like ossobucco.

Expanding Palates with Greek Wines, Episode #866, 5/24/2010 (link) 91 points(Uranos Xinomavro) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-this is bombastic; very aggressive; very juicy dark cherry; very big; what people love about Zins, Syrah and Priorat (dark chocolate and cherry) ; PALATE-beautiful sour cherry; great creaminess; great body; very smooth; a bigger wine, but not too over-the-top, great structure; very appealing flavor profile; I like this a lot; like an imaginary blend of a top flight, well produced Zinfandel meeting a really great Burgundian Pinot Noir (a really great juicy flavor intensity, but with the round Pinot-like characteristic); great minerality; a big wine, but not too heavy; this is fantastic; spectacular; MS-91/93; GV-91
