March 6, 2019 - Tasted at Three Borders Wine Group, Hampshire, UK. Made from vines aged 20-80 years. Pale, greyish lemon colour. Citrusy nose. Slilght spritz on the palate, ginger, salty, volcanic minerality.
May 13, 2018 - This wine punches way above its weight, great acidity, Minerality, balance and it retains it's flavor after a few days in the bottle. Great buy
April 15, 2018 - Nice balance of citrus and mineral. Good complement of seafood.
April 5, 2018 - At Varka. Faint grapefruit on the nose. Round, juicy and dry on the palate. Nice lingering finish. Very tasty with fish tonight.
September 26, 2017 - Interesting wine, somewhere between Muscadet and Gruner Veltliner in style. Youthful obviously and on the grapefruit spectrum. Flinty nose. However good minerality, good acidity and good intensity. Should age and improve. I like this the more I drink of it. At £12 buy more.
September 6, 2017 - Surprisingly nice wine, tasted at winery,good balance , nice blend, light but enjoyable, would drink again.
August 12, 2017 - Very enjoyable on opening. Did not hold up well after openig. Drunk over two days. Opened at restaurant; moderately chilled. Then brought home and refrigerated. Second night just not "right."
June 5, 2017 - My first tasting of the 2016 vintage, having enjoyed many 2012 in the past and a few 2014s as well. This was a total surprise for me. The 2012 and 2014 were very mineral, dry, intense and powerful (the 2012 in particular with the 2014 being somewhat less intense). The 2016 was... sweet. Not super sweet, but it had rather high residual sweetness, which was absent in both the 2012 and 2014 at the same age. It is true that after three years in my cellar, I found the 2012 to expose some sweetness that was hidden behind the acidity and minerality that was so strongly expressed in the 2012, but at the same age, it didn't show any sweetness.
I only had one glass of this and will be tasting it again soon, but at this point, I hope that this is from the circumstances of the 2016 vintages rather than a change in style of the wine. Will try again and see. Currently I'd give it a 85-86. I'll give it 86 with the benefit of the doubt as I await the next tasting.
May 1, 2017 - Wine tasting in Greece; 4/28/2017-5/6/2017 (Athens, Santorini and Porto Heli): Tasting visit to Estate Argyros and also the welcome bottle revised by our hotel in Santorini. Atlantis is the entry level brand for Estate Argyros and this wine is a predominantly Assyrtiko with a small percentage of Athiri blended in for balance and aromatics. Fermentation in stainless steel. The color is light, the wine is fresh bright and easy to drink. Typical racy acidity, but in a lighter ore accessible and less complex package. Fine quaffer but not particularly distinctive.
