This Xinomavro has fresh red cherry and currant aromas accented with some dried cherry and floral tones, plus subtle oak characters on the nose. On the medium-full bodied, structured palate it has dusty, grippy tannins that support the refined dark red cherry flavours. Acids are very good, while the finish length is excellent. Tasted Oct. 2023. Score: 90+ pts
