December 16, 2022 - Gold, advanced color. Complex nose with mild oxidation , improves over 20 minutes in the glass. Beautiful with a Greek fisherman’s stew. Wonderful to have a Greek island wine with age remembering our visits to Santorini. Drink now

September 3, 2018 - MNB: Greece! (Home (Noe st)): (non-blind)
Medium gold color - significant color (it's a 2013 - so some age).
Nose: medium plus intensity, notable wax (sort of a reductive style with dusty wax character). Squeaky green apple, yellow apple, ripe lemon.
No overt oak, lees, botrytis.
Palate: Dry, medium body, medium plus alcohol (13.5% - correct), medium plus acid (persistent and tartaric). More oxidative on the palate.
Similar to a dry vouvray.
Laterals:
- Vouvray sec - would have some RS probably
- Furmint - would have higher acid
This is a lower-aroma, somewhat dead assyrtiko that's missing the phenolics of more classic examples.
