Sunday, July 10, 2022 - Summer Wines (Craig & Nita's Place): Deep golden color. Drank a glass over 40 minutes. This was the second bottle of this I've had. This was quite reminiscent of the previous bottle. I'm going to have to say definitively now, that I'm not really a fan of this style of Assyrtiko. It lacks the brightness and crystalline character that makes Assyrtiko what it is, and for me, what it is meant to be. There's a lot going on here to be fair; bigger in style, round though and not showing the acidity to really carry it through, rich with yellow apple, over ripe mango, lemon, oxidative in style, lacquer (think Lopez whites) and plenty of oak. I find it interesting, and probably on a cool Fall evening more desirable. Though i certainly didn't hate it, it was the wrong call to bring this on a hot summer day. I'll stick to Sigalas's classic and reliable Assyrtiko going forward.
