  July 20, 2022 - A few months since we had this last and continues on the right path. One of the best and underrated super cuvées of Assyrtiko, soft waxy, light honey, lovely bright feel. Less of the flinty , sharp feel, juicier and richer than normal but also of impressive level. 93

  April 23, 2021 - 9 months since we tried this last ( Papies 93) and continues on the right path , evolving and showing that the longevity here is proper. Easily this has another 7-10yrs of life and much like a great Chablis good cellaring will be rewarded ( this is our bet!)
  Like as we say a lightly oaked Chablis, polished acids, very bright and energetic , mineral and with a lovely salinity. Very elegant and a great wine on a world scale. 93-94

  November 24, 2020 - Medium gold. Pronounced. High acidity, full body and textured. Citrus and stone fruit, dry mediterranean herbs. Pastry, toasted bread. So perfumed that seems matured in barrel. Saline and mineral. Great fruit concentration. Volcanic liquid.
  
  12 months on the lees

  July 17, 2020 - A year since we tried this before ( Papies 93) and this continues to deliver and we will def buy some more to age as these we are pretty sure will become very special. This is one of the cuvées to hunt down as in a few years these would become unicorn wines.
  Flinty ( defines flinty) and mineral, polished acidity , soft edge probably from the dollop of Athiri this has and with a honey and herby edge. We said originally this would be Greece’s Clos St Hune and we stand by our view . Assyrtiko from Santorini for us can rival the best wines in the world and this cuvee displays it 100%. 93-94 and so elegant

  November 18, 2019 - From a sampler. Peach, sweets, flowers. On the richer side, somewhat mellow but very appealing. Had expectations of higher acidity. Should get better, certainly got the prospects of building more complexity.
