  This wine is just about perfect in my estimation. It's nearly a decade old white, but it's still super fresh and vibrant. The nose is powerful, exotic, and unbelievably complex. Acidity and "minerality" are intense on the palate but offer a perfect balance with the lemon, and mango and passion fruit. It's mouth watering, and with a wild Opah fish sandwich yesterday, it was out of this world good. So I can't find a flaw with this wine, and I'm not sure what more I would ask for from a bottle. I feel like you could start a restaurant around this bottle.

  Discovered and could not be resisted in the cellar of the excellent Oinoscent in Athens ( www.Oinoscent.com). Lightly chilled, decanted as well which definitely helped. Better not too cold.
  Always a joy to come across these oldies, old school classic Santorini . Very mineral, bright still and albeit evolved it still had a lot of energy. Granted not a very fresh expression but far from dull and actually quite the opposite. Age has given it good evolution on the fruit and lovely depth and has a touch waxy finish. Superb wine and easy 92-93

  Dark gold. Evolved nose with minerality, candied bergamot, undergrowth and wet wool. Medium+ bodied with good acidity but the fruit is fading. Past its best. Long aftertaste.

  Didn´t feel as old and tired as my last bottle, at a good place right now but a little too salty for me.
