Here's a nicely mature, savoury, spicy and earthy example of xinomavro from northern Greece, which will appeal to any...

Every bit as good as the reviews suggest, and then some! Definitely would have mistaken for a Barolo. It's big and complex with lovely fruit. Extreme acidity make it a touch strident, and tannins still a bit rough, so suspect a few hours of decanting would help, as would another 5 years or more of aging. Nicely complex,extremely long finish and delicious all the same!

Wow, Barolo for 18 bucks! And it is ready to drink now.

I was pleasantly surprised when I was told what I was drinking. Could have fooled me if I was told it was Italian. At $18 this wine will be poured in the near future in my house :)

Structured, backwards, staunchly old world, and a little funky.

Notes of plum, earth, smoke, and tons of bacon. Drinking well now and pairs beautifully with food.. an excellent value.
