2016 Alpha Estate Xinomavro Hedgehog Greece

"Appealing nose of spice with strawberry accents. Light bodied palate with juicy cherry and a long, cranberry finish."

The 2016 Xinomavro Hedgehog Vineyard was aged for 12 months in an equal mixture of used and new French barriques. It comes in at 13.6% alcohol. This seems riper than the 2015"which is not a synonym for saying "better," but I suspect in the long run this will be better. Right at the moment, neither is ready and they were both a little hard to read when I originally received them (only the 2016 is here, the new release). Review Date: April 2019
