Our Tasting Note: A medium ruby red core, vibrant light pink edges, transparent. A med+ and very complex nose of currants, black cherry, blackberry, plum, mint, licorice, and leather.  A med/med+ body, acidity, and tannin.  The palate is med+ but coiled, with air this kept deepening and broadening.  The finish is long, persistent and youthfully taught, excellent potential here and textbook Xinomavro!
