  Outstanding with citrus , herbs and off melon. The product of a dry ad full body wine is a top notch result.

  Lemony yellow. Discreet start, mineral rather than fruity. Some lemon zest and bergamot aromas follow. Bracing from the attack to the finish with persistence and good refreshment. Neutral yet rich and vivid.

  In the end, this Assyrtiko from Santorini is a bit too tart for its own good, with a puckering sourness that refreshes even as it overwhelms, but it's still pretty remarkable otherwise. It takes some time to open up in the glass, lemon first, then yellow plum, then, as it evolves, a raw-almond nuttiness (reminiscent of some Italian whites) that isn't entirely successful, but the major highlights are the distinctive notes produced by volcanic soil and island air, namely, expressive minerality throughout and a faint touch of salt hovering about. Time could tame the excess and deepen the flavours, but even now, still very young, it's pretty amazing.

  - Yellow color and aromas of grapefruit and lemon and has flavours of apple with a light/medium body. Narrow texture with a medium finish.
