Markovitis Xinomavro 750ml

Details

Critic tasting note: (2015 vintage) “(2021) Only 12.5% alcohol here as opposed to the Thymiopoulos at 14%, so quite a different style. It’s a 2015, but the colour is dramatically lighter, maybe just a touch of brick-colour on the rim. It is made in stainless steel, though the final 12 months of its 26-month ageing is in Hungarian oak. More truffle and and undergrowth, light fudge-character, again, the floral lift to the red fruits is there. In the mouth it has softness to the fruit, although the Xinomavro acidity and dusty, fine tannins add plenty of savour and grip. Very elegant and nicely balanced.
