Alpha Estate Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro 2010

Mid cherry red with pale rim. Peppery red-fruit aroma, really fragrant, and wonderful freshness on the palate. Subtle but present tannins now finely integrated with the fruit. Surprisingly delicate and very persistent, lovely pure fruit, impeccably handled in the winery for a refined but highly drinkable wine with a distinctive character. Drink: 2014 to 2019. Score - 17.5 (out of 20). (Julia Harding, MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jan. 26, 2014)
