  Deep golden color in the glass. Slightly oxidized "fluor" on the nose along with some nuttiness and a touch of minerality. No lemon or saline as one would usually expect with assyrtiko. Palate follows nose with medium acidity, medium body, and a mild, but astringent aftertaste. This bottle, while still drinkable, is clearly past its prime. Did not finish the bottle. Drink years ago.

  Maybe a bit old, maybe just not so good.

  @ Chez Carmichel's (Leanne and Baby V visiting)
  
  Clean, clear, light bodied
  Apricots, some apple tart, kerosene
  Crisp, fresh green apple, perfect acidity, medium finish
  Dried fruit, grape leaves
  
  This wine was the clear surprise of the night. Amazing QPR, and aged to perfection. MUCH better than the last time we consumed it. Completely blown away. Don't let the price fool you. (+1 pts for price)

  Deep golden yellow, medium body
  Faint nose of honey suckle and yellow plums
  Light fruit on the palate, melon. Very refreshing, no astringency
  AMAZING QPR (+1pt)
  
  Great summer sipper. Best valued white out there.

  PnP. Bright golden yellow. Yellow plum grapefruit rind and herbs on the nose. Light(+) weight with a bit of tannic grip. Plum grapefruit rind lanolin and anise on the palate. Lingering minerally finish. A big white to the point that you think it has some oak aging when in fact it does not (according to the importer's web site).
