Naoussa 2016, Thymiopoulos
Date Tasted: 5/2020
It certainly needs food.
Appearance: Pale garnet colour.
Nose: Medium aromatic intensity with overcooked red fruits mostly, raspberry, sour cherry and tomato.
Palate: The tomato notes continue with graphite and game with medium acidity and medium body. It is flabby with harsh tannins and a short aftertaste.
It tastes better when combined with food.
Drink: It surely needs ageing, but I do not recommend it.
Food Pairing: It paired well with meatballs in tomato sauce.
