2011 Athina Assyrtiko Santorini
7/2/2013 - Dokken wrote: 65 Points
Well I dont know the producer but I've read something about an impressive CV and I was curious to try it. it puzzles me how to begin...The nose is oxidised (not oxidative) lacking any kind of freshness. It actually stinks making you wonder how a 2 year wine can be so bad. Can it get worse? You guessed it...Yeap On palate it is unbalanced lacking acidity for the fullness and high alcohol of the wine. Disjointed with bad quality fruit. Tasted the wine again to exclude any possibility of a lesser bottle. Crap again! This cant be anything else trhan bad quality fruit and bad-winemaking. Beware Santorini fans for this masterpiece is exported... Too bad for Santorini image!!!

2008 Pio Cesare Barbaresco Il Bricco

Brick-garnet colour with a very seductive nose expressive of roses, earth, red cherries and a soft touch of oak. Elegant on palate needing more time to reveal all the complexity the wine may offer. Great structure and finesse. Very long

Well defined nose offering green almonds, pear, butter and moderate creamy oak. Well balanced with very fresh acidity and integrated oak. Fairly long.
