Xinomavro 2016, Diamantis Winery

Date Tasted: 8/2021

This Xinomavro is one of the stylish variety's examples. Pure, elegant and powerful.

Appearance: The colour is attractive, pale shiny ruby.

Nose: It has crystal aromatic purity with raspberry, strawberry, and red cherry signature. The spice undertones followed with wet leaves and a kiss of oak. Still youthful and charming. 

Palate: It is incredible with intensity, volume and nerve. The acidity is sharp, and the body is full. It has highly polished tannins. The aftertaste is long, fresh, and fruity. Fine balance.

Hold: It is too young. Keep it at least for 3-4 years more.

Food Pairing: Beef prime cuts are the perfect pairing.
