Wednesday, August 10, 2022 - A superb vintage for Louros vintage that unfortunately has a lot of bottle variability.
This bottle was superb and just such a joy. Ironically Andreas who had this blind albeit mesmerized said this was not Assyrtiko ( and he is the biggest advocate for Assyrtiko in the world)
Soft, less of ta sharp mineral Assyrtiko and more of a smooth rounded polished expression. Very earthy on the nose and we did discuss that should this have been totally blind the nose would be a bit bordeaux-esque in earthiness. Soft oak on the back ground, light noble oxidation. The palate is well polished and elegant, a bit not assyrtiko but that is what one gets from 100+ yr old vines like these. A total concentrated taste like no other. Superb here too but frankly its the nose on this bottle that could have launched a 1000 ships to bring it back from Troy. Superb 95+
