Ktima Kokkinos

Naoussa Xinomavro 2015

Alcohol heat needs to burn off when first popped, but with a moderate decant/air has a lovely Nebbiolo-ish approach to its Greek DNA. Light red in appearance, white pepper & cherry life savers on nose. Medium light body, acid plus, edges rounded after a bit. Cherries & Persimmon on palate. Had w veal parm takeout, Pandemic style, before the last round of family Rummikub. Delicious, in a prickly kinda way. Made Asimov s top 20 wines under 20$. — 6 years ago

Moroccan cuisine and Greek wine are a winning combo tonight in Montreal at dinner with my little sister. Anise, jasmine, rose, lavender, raspberry, smoke and dust together form a light bodied wine with tension and intense fragrance. Absolutely lovely and a steal too. — 8 years ago

I adore this botlle. Was my first date with a Greek wine. And indeed, this can be associated to Burgundy Pinot Noir or Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Thema Drama Syrah-Agiorgitiko Blend 2020

Nice dry with strong bright acid. Great leading aroma. A slight turn to passion fruit AKA Marlborough but not enough to detract from a fine refreshing glass. — 5 years ago

Epanomi Viognier 2016

Very expressive combination of floral and mineral aromas. Mouth puckering acidity that handcuffs any fruit that wants to get flabby. I will confess I was surprised to learn there was some new French oak utilized. What I love about wine and especially tasting blind is I am constantly reminded how little I know. — 8 years ago

Chateau Pegasus

Naoussa Red Blend 1999

Very cool old Greek wine! Semi translucent brick colour, sour cherry on the nose. Medium body, velvety round tannins, leathery, dried fruit, cooking herbs, maybe tomato? I've never had old Barolo but if I had to guess I think this would be similar. 🇬🇷💙 — 9 years ago

It's xinomavro which is poor mans barolo so you're probably right 👌🏼
