Great vintage due to ripeness and acidity (close to 1990). Clean nose, high intensity of fruit, ripe liem, pineapple, lemon, lemon leaves, mineral, still fresh. Fresh in the palate, balancing acidity, nice, green, lemon, 7.50%, (60-80gr RS), lemon pie,, med body, med+ finish flavored with sweet lime Outstanding quality, subtle but great
The nose is very different, ripe fruit, tropical fruit, only starting to offer some petrol ntoes, the intensity stands a bit lower than the 2015, dried apricot. In the palate, the wine shows ripeness again, seems ready, round, the acidity seemed lower than 2015, the finish is shorter, maybe more mineral, green fruit. Outstanding
The 2009 was a warm vintage, fully ripe, no botrytis. This one is closer to 2011, a few petrol notes, ripe/overripe apricot, med intensity overall. In the palate, the wine is less pronounced, balanced, ripe fruit, nice acidity, med body and finish. Ripe, green fruit (apple and pear) jam. Outstanding but again quite different in sytle
The vintage was dry, hot with fruit intensity. The nose is unique, ripe fruit, oxidative notes, nutty, almond, has quite an intensity, again quite different from the rest with the same of complexity. Very nice in the palate, exotic, ripe fruit, nutty notes again in the palate as well, rich, impressive with long finish. Outstanding quality
Complex, rich, petrol notes, nutty, ripe and overripe tropical fruits, some spicy hues too. The palate is rich, nice green freshness still going on, tropical fruit of high intensity, balancing acidity, mineral, clear with long finish. Outstanding quality
The warmest summer in history, low acidity, many producers harvested quite early, ultumately using fruit with bitter notes. The fruit is ripe, tropcial but with peach too, a few floral and spicy notes as well. The palate is clearly riper, quite fruity, rich, high tropical notes, peach flavored long finish. Outstanding and interesting
Very rich, impressive, floral, ripe tropical fruit, candied fruit. In the palate, the wine is clear, 11.50%, lime, med to high intensity, lemon, well structured, long finish. Outstanding quality, one to hold
The note is rich, high intensity, ripe tropical fruit, pineapple, peach, apricot, melon and floral. The palate is equally rich, 7.50%, balancing acidity, floral, lime, lemon, melon, long finish. Outstanding quality
THe nose is rich, extrovert, yeast, oaky and nutty. The palate shows high acidity, nutty flavors, lemon, standing on the oxidative side, offers richness, a bit aggressive to drink on its own, med finish
The nose is rich, rich, more on the ripe fruit side than on the yeast, some lemon notes, slghtly oxidative. Quite the CO2 in the palate, lemon, lime, explosive, sweet-ish notes, honey, med body and med to long finish
Med to high intensity, dense ripe fruit, lime, lemon, some yeasty notes. The palate is round, delicate, creamy texture, yeast, oaky, nutty, ripe fruit, llmeon, med to long finish. Outstanding quality, one to hold
The nose is rich, underlying greatness, not shouting, ripe fruit with yeast nuances. The palate follows the same pattern, nutty, ripe fruit, rich texture, nice body, slighly oxidative, long finish. Outstanding quality
The grapes were sourced from Pyrgos and Megalochori villages, 13.5%, fermented in concrete tanks , stayed there for 14-15 months, 6300btl. The nose is strange, interesting, complex, sweet and candied aromas, almost buttery, herbal, ripe fruit. The palate is of shows high intensity and acidity, rich, a bit tight, med+ body and finish. Very interesting
