Amyndeon, Macedonia, Greece
Challenging vintage 2014 was in Northern Greece. This is Xinomavro from 60 year old vines grown at 600m elevation. Draws distinct parallels with Nebbiolo- floral nose leading into red cherry, cranberry, almond paste, leather, caraway seed and mint. Leathery tannins and decent acid retention. Finish falls away a bit, but otherwise pretty handy stuff.
