Friday, May 18, 2018 - Half bottle off the wine list over lunch at Michael Mina.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of floral roses, earth, sour red cherries, sweet caramel. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), velvety high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sour red cherries, red plum, earth, sweet spices. Long finish.
Very good quality. Good Xinomavro! Will develop and improve with more age for sure.
Ramnista is an old vines Xinomavro sourced from selected vineyard blocks within the Yianakohori vineyard in Naoussa.
Aged in a mixture of French and American oak (25% new in a mixture of 225-liter and 500-liter casks) for 18 months.
