  Medium straw color, it appears to be taking on a bit of weight over the last couple of years. Melon/stone fruit nose.
  Delicious. Loads of unripe stone fruit, mango, and passionfruit. All supported by a flinty minerality, salinity and bright acidity. This one has developed well in the bottle, and it is drinking beautifully right now. This wine continues to be one of the great white wines of the world, in my opinion.

  Medium yellow, very pronounced aromas of lemon, lime, white flowers. Very flavorful on the palate, a more full-bodied wine with tastes of lemon, stone fruit, with mineral and green notes. Very well balanced in sweetness and acidity, with a bit of tannin. Not overly complex, but a solid white with flavor that lasts (great length), with a crisp finish. Nothing bad to say about this wine – a great first impression of Greek wine, I am looking forward to trying more of this variety and Greek wine in general.

  World-class white, refreshing, terrific finish with a pleasant touch of muskiness, popped and poured and enjoyed with steamed Maine lobster. From prior experience, more bright acidity in its youth, but more nuanced at this age.

  From 75cl, DIAM10 closure, opened but not decanted 3 hours, too much, as it turned out, as the wine turned a flabby in the glass with further aeration. Next time P+P... Saline and struck match aromatics; quite full entry lacking the precise citrus and mineral action previously recorded (as on 06.07.2023). Very good nonetheless. 89P

  Off the beaten track: Good intensity on the nose, savory, spicy and mineral. Some attractive hints of burnt honey like I often experience with Assyrtiko. Quite full bodied on the palate, again with good intensity also on the mid palate. Solid length, savory. Driking well but will live long. 17.5/20
