We have always enjoyed this wine throughout the 12 bottle case, and this, sadly, is the last one. Still fresh, still drinking really well, so no rush at the moment. We had this with Fish and Chips, and it was a brilliant compliment, with the grapefruit, pear (+other white fruits, I am not very good at thieve descriptions) matching the inevitable greasiness of the meal. The second half of the bottle was drunk without food and I found it a bit of a struggle and wanted the magic of the food match to come back.

Not a formal note. On the nose, aromas of petroleum (like a riesling), citrus and minerals. On the palate, this is still very fresh with a good length. I'd say this is good for another two years at least. 90 or so

An oaked, lower alcohol style of assyrtiko. Not my preferred style however its well constructed with lime, lemon, vanilla, slate, hint of spice and herb. Bigger mouthfeel than the unoaked styles but also more moderate acidity.

i really liked this bottle that performed beautifully. nose on crushed volcanic stone, lemon, citrus, quite powerful. on the palate, this is a classic assyrtiko, piercing acidity balancing an oily texture. very ready but no rush.

Nice lemony flavour but I struggled with the acidity in this bottle.
