| Description: | The 2018 Naoussa Cuvée Villages is all Xinomavro aged for 12 months in used French oak (with 25% American). It comes in at 13.3% alcohol. Beautifully wrought in its style, this is silky and fairly tannic. It shows off acidity and plenty of pop and power on the finish. In its youth, the fruit is still assertive, but this is mostly about the structure and the texture. There is also admirable mid-palate finesse. If you like them old school and a little rustic, this is for you, but there is enough fruit for balance, at least today. There are echoes of rustic Nebbiolo while there's very little here that's sweet and fleshy. It should age well, perhaps better than indicated."-90WA, 2023-2038 |
