Diamantakos Naoussa 2013

Naousa, Makedonia, GreeceNaoussa is famous among Greek wine regions and home to this xinomavro, one with an amazing mix of power and finesse. If you were to hide this stylish red in a Barolo tasting it would be hard to find. Look for a fragrant nose of red fruits, black cherry, tar and spice. The tannins are slippery in a finish full of dusty, meaty, savoury red fruits, cocoa powder and fresh acidity. Elegantly structured, it seems it could age for ever. Very refined and made with only 13.5 percent alcohol. Production is about 5500 cases.Tasted: 20 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
