2021 The Wine Society Assyrtiko Santorini
4/21/2024 - fipile Does not like this wine: 87 Points
clear gold in the glass, nose on ripe exotic fruits (guava, melon, grapefruit).
On the palate, the ripeness of the fruit overwhelms the saline touch of santorini's assyrtiko character. there is good supporting acidity though
Very NZ sauvignon blanc in style, not what I am looking for in a Santorini Assyrtiko - but some people may like it.

2018 Weingut Dorli Muhr Blaufränkisch 1ÖTW Spitzerberg Kobeln Liebkind
4/14/2024 - fipile Likes this wine: 92 Points
Dark red, purple rim. Closer to syrah than gamay.
on the nose, a whiff of feral/barnyard/animal scent, but mostly red juicy fruits, blackberry, hint of spices.
the tannins are fine, the acidity well balanced. at 12.5% ABV, this is very easy drinking, yet retains some finesse and structure.
good finish.
Next bottle in 2 to 3 years time.

dark red, with purple rim - very syrah-esque
on the nose, some barnyard, red fruits, blueberry and spices.
The tannins are still grainy but fine, the juice is pure and finish is medium. supporting acidity. Next bottle in 2 to 3 years
