This is my first Xinomavro and it really reminds me of Nebbiolo. Pale in colour, roses on the nose. There is very pronounced cherry as well and berry leaves. Maybe a touch of tobacco. I really like the smell. It is less tannic and more cherry forward than Nebbiolo on the palate. There is some cranberry as well, especially on the finish. I love Nebbiolo, so I really enjoyed this. Will definitely be trying more. 8+/18

Not much more to add from my previous tasting note, but if anything the wine had developed and improved since July 2022. CHP 90 pts

Muted red fruits on the nose but the palate explodes with intense spiciness, black pepper, red fruits. Medium bodied, bright acidity, lovely wine.

Enjoyed this wine with a rack of lamb. Fruit. Spice, herbs. Delicious.

Bon vin. Fiable. Ressemble à du Pinot noir en version plus riche et concentré tout en étant souple et féminin
