Unfiltered, this single vineyard Xinomavro has a medium+ to medium-high intensity nose that offers pretty aromas of dried rose and red cherry, followed by sweet baking spice and cinnamon, plus touches of oak spice and earth. It's medium-full bodied with big, firm, youthful, and drying tannins that play up to the fruit. Lovely dried rose, cherry, cedary wood spice, and cinnamon flavours lead to a juicy, succulent mid-palate. It's well-structured with high, gently tangy acidity. Delicious flavour replays are joined by touches of smoky earth on long, dry finish. Tasted Dec. 2023.
