Tatsis Goumenissa 2014

This is a typical blend of Xinomavro and Negoska in equal parts bearing a medium ruby color with brownish hints. The nose is layered and complex, possessing aromas of red and dried fruits, dark flowers and an earthy vegetal element, leathery notes and herbal nuances. A bit rustic but very intriguing and unique. The wine is dry and medium bodied, with solid acidity and manageable, savory tannins, even if quite young. A bit greener than expected on the palate, it has a fairly long, peppery finish. It will further improve over the next years. (GM)
