Lukter og smaker av karamell og litt rosiner. Søt, intens og deilig. Lang ettersmak. Nydelig vin som unndrar seg beskrivelse. Vi gjenkjenner mandarinsyren fra forrige gang, men ikke saltpreget.

Lett kjemisk duft (neglelakkfjerner), men med rosiner og mandler bak. Men smaken overrasker: bringebærsyltetøy, rosiner og salt karamell, i en voldsom intensitet. Flott sødme og fylde, med fin syre (a la mandarin) som holder det friskt. Lang og fyldig ettersmak med et lite saltpreg. Deilig vin santo.

Half the grapes sun dried and half dried in the shade so that more fresh fruit character is preserved. The smell is wonderful: cedar, pine, woody notes, raisins and dried orange s Full bodied, sweet but so much acidity that it's amazingly drinkable, burnt orange flavours, seville orange and a long creamy finish This is stunning. So rich but fresh and delicious., Impossible to spit this one

Wine tasting in Greece; 4/28/2017-5/6/2017 (Athens, Santorini and Porto Heli): Tasting visit to Gaia winery. Wow these Santorini Vinsantos are really tasty. Color is dark brown cola. On the nose lots going on - caramel, honey, floral and herbal. On the palate sweetbut loads of acid to keep it balanced, toasted nuts, caramel, lemon, some coffee on the finish. Just a bit of heat from the alcohol on the finish. Really delicious.

Dark brown in colour, dense yet glossy wine. Rich, nutty, light raisin feel intermixed with chocolate feel and we guess a bit of new oak was used here in its 10yrs of barrel ageing. Rich yet supple on the palate, well round and inviting, touch of oxidation. Very solid 91
