With oysters and saint jacques. Surprising! — 3 years ago
On the nose it reminds me almost of nebbiolo but a tiny bit more fruity. Blood orange, strawberry, a tiny bit of oak, this is very inviting. The palate is extremely well balanced, there is acid, yes, but there is width and fruit, there is a drying layer of tannins in midpalate (not unlike the ones you can find in noble piemont niebbiolo wines) along with a soft, expanding mouthfeel, and there is a long finish with that drying layer, those nice fruit notes that linger for a long while. This is really good! — 4 years ago

Super nice nose ! Very fruity with blackberry, raspberry, a bit of tar, a bit of bread yeast, a bit of pine sap. I could have called nebiollo on the nose. The palate is juicy and fruity with nice raspberry and blackberry notes, some width, some matter on the side, some dusty tannins that leave a drying layer over a nice amd fruity finish with a tiny, nice bitter note that adds a nice level of complexity to an otherwise youthful and playful wine. Good stuff ! — 7 months ago
Perfect summer red - definitely full bodied but on the lighter side. Hints of cherry and spice. — a year ago

I’ve changed my mind about this one - when served a little chilled it’s delicious and well-balanced, dry and tannic — 7 years ago
Complex, medium to full bodied. Paired really well with beets, goat cheese and prawns. — 7 months ago
Cured meat, little bit of oxidation, distant black primary fruit, lots of acidity on the palate, tannins totally tamed on the finish. #xinamavro #naoussa. It’s still opening up and coming alive pretty quickly. One can truly appreciate a reasonable BTG price of 9€ in a lovely Nafpoli wine bar for a 18 year old quality producer. — 8 months ago

2014 vintage. Pleasantly sweet, kind of dried fruits — 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
