Patistis – Kamara Hill 2019

The 2019 Kamara Hill from Patistis (PGI Magnesia) demonstrates, in the course of a comprehensive Xinomavro exploration, how old vines, spontaneous fermentation, and a mixed élevage in oak and amphora can achieve exceptional results. Visually not exactly a feast for the eyes, it more than compensates with striking sage aromas and remarkably well-balanced, powerful tannins. The texture achieves a rare combination of graininess and elegance with a long, pure finish. Another triumph for amphora-aged Xinomavro. 93 points.
