(Au domaine) Le plus complexe au nez des 3, paraîtrait presque excentrique. Anis, menthol, presque café, bonbon, pâtisserie, c’est encore jeune, mais le bois est intégré. Comme les autres, l’alcool est présent, mais on s’y fait. La bonne nouvelle vient de la finale bien saline qui reste présente, salivante, méditerranéenne ! Là encore, à garder 2/3 ans pour complexifier le tout. Bien fait.

Not anywhere near the quality of earlier vintages. Either this wine needs several years for everything to come together or is somehow faulty. Very fresh and spicy but lacks the creaminess, body and barrel...

Frankly very young and showed very little of the charm of Assyrtiko. Very happy to see that the use of oak is aimed to complement and polish further the wine rather than impact an oaky profile( like oaky Assyrtikos of the past) . 89 for now but really this need time to evolve.

At the vineyard. Great integration of the wood. The oak adds a little smoothness and vanilla to the cryspy taste of the assyrtiko.
