Kir-Yianni Estate
Single Vineyard Xinomavro

Mint and thyme on the nose. The front is the faintest faintest hint of strawberry fruit. The tannins don’t kick in until the mid palate so this starts as a very delicate wine. But then the tannins kick in. Initially they’re tight and overpowering—but after an hour the decanter the become a bit more gentle and civilized. On the back palate I get a citrusy grapefruit tartness. This wine has a long delicate finish. Silky. Very pleasant!
