Whoa Nelly that’s a nose! Potent as being nosed out of sleep by my cat in the morning (ps I lied and told him that Xinomavro the grape was named after him, not vice versa). Full of dark red cherry, pepper, herbs (the wine not my cat, he’s just full of Fancy Feast) the palate echos the nose bringing in an amaro-esque element. I want more!

Lovely dry red. Definitely taste cherry. Slightly sour and medium tannins.

A strong version of Xinomavro… perfect with lamb!

Complex, medium to full bodied. Paired really well with beets, goat cheese and prawns.

Tart, fresh, slight funky but not an objection. Slightly brown.

Robe rubis pâle, comme l'autre bu cette semaine. Une touche de cerise avec un peu d'écurie au nez, rien de plus. C'est discret et muet. Une bouche aux tanins râpeux. C'est simple, un peu de fruits rouges et d'iode. Pas pour moi.

Tastes like tannin and a bit of acid thinned with water. Unfortunately reinforced my bias against Greek reds.
