Very different take on Xinisteri. Rich and very structured. Lots of minerals and good acid. Has more in common with a high end village Burgundy than the bitingly acidic xinisteri more typical of Cyprus. Long finish. Excellent. — 3 years ago
Vamvakada is Maratheftiko its pain in the a-s-s to grow since it's not hermaphrodite, although with the proper care and attention, not much oak and time in the bottle (5-6 years) it's amazing..... With deep ruby color, black fruit, soft tannins (granted you aged it) soft spicy character, with a key attribute her sexy and elegant acidity, herbal, leather, mushrooms and hints of truffles.... It's a full body, well structure vino that has a few more years. — 10 years ago

NOSE: light, bright, lemon, seawater…a little asparagus? Green something. The tiniest smidge of passionfruit.
TASTE: clean…very clean. Less acid than you expect. Distinct spices…chili? Cardamom? White flower petals. This would be great with fish tacos. 90. — 2 years ago
