October 13, 2021 - It’s been 2 years since we have tried this last ( Papies 93) and very happy to report that this ( granted excellently stored ) is still rolling along nicely and probably the best one we have tried. Flinty , soft evolved fruit on the nose, soft kiss of oxidation. Very much healthy and evolving nicely too on the plate, good solid acidity and this has more to give. Makes us very happy to have stocked up Assyrtiko for the future in our cellar.

August 7, 2019 - We would echo in spades the comment made by the sommelier of ( the excellent ) Oinoscent wine bar in Athens when trying this “ this is a wine that makes me proud to talk about Greek wines”.
And indeed for the lovers of purity in assyrtiko this is indeed something special. We could even suggest decanting it. Almost a decade old it is still bright and full of energy, well evolved but barring a few notes this is still on the primary side, full on mineral, almost a waxy dense texture on the palate. Green Citrus and stone fruits run through and through and this is truly a great experience of a wine. Granted we are biased but still 92-931 person found this helpful Comment -
