| NAOUSSA XINOMAVRO 2015 PDO Naoussa |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BOUTARI |
| Medium deep red colour. Gently spicy, slightly dusty, fairly ripe cherry nose with some sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, spicy, tangy, plum-apple flavours with a lingering, rather crisp, sandalwood-tinged finish. Rather simple and ready-to-drink. This 100% Xinomavro has 12% alcohol and now only 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L72501332 on the capsule. The sweeter 2014 (**) with 87.5-points was released on April 15, 2017 at $13.95. The only virtue here is the low price. If you want something really worth drinking try Boutari’s terrific DOMAINE KARYDAS XINOMAVRO 2012 (#2721013) which was released in Vintages on April 15, 2017 at $21.75. |

| Boutari was founded in 1879 and is one of Greece's oldest and most important wineries. Though they make a wide range of wines in sites throughout Greece, it is Naoussa and Xinomavro that represent the soul of Boutari. This 100% Xinomavro is a wine that's typically crafted in a fruity, easy-to-enjoy style with a lithe mouthfeel, moderately grippy tannins and complex vanilla and earthy tones. This will be superb this evening with a lamb or beef stew but will also continue to evolve for another 3-5 years. |
