The Boutari Naoussa Grande Reserve 2001 is a beautifully aged Xinomavro with a brick-red hue and amber reflections. Its complex nose offers dried red fruits, sun-dried tomato, black pepper, tobacco, and truffle, with hints of vanilla and cedar from oak aging.
On the palate, it is elegant yet structured, with silky tannins and bright acidity balancing flavors of stewed cherries, figs, black olives, and balsamic reduction. The long, savory finish lingers with spice, dried fruit, and earthy notes.
