December 10, 2023 - Very interesting expression of Assyrtico. As would be expected from this producer, this well made. Substantial body, slightly oxidized with an orange tinge. At opening it’s reminiscent of brandy, with citrus, burned caramel, and a hint of cask. This mellows with aeration, so consider decanting and keeping chilled for at least 3 hours before serving. At a good spot now, but has aging potential.

November 22, 2023 - Pours an almost orange tinged amber. Rich oxidative nose. Very very high acid on the palate. Lemon verbena and eucalyptus. Candied orange peel. Salty peaches. This is really interesting. Definitely have it with food.

November 2, 2023 - The Return to Oinoscense (Oinoscent, Athens): A much better bottle than 9 months ago ( Papies 89) and definitely one that is fragile . Still had something beautiful about its soft nobly oxidative side, aged fruit and still proper acidity. This is not Assyrtiko from Santorini but still the noble grapes lives here albeit in a different style. Solid 90 but be aware of bottle variation and fragility
