  Utviklet, gyllengul farge. Moden duft av tørket aprikos, gule epler, svake røyktoner, et streif av vanilje og sjøvann.
  For tre år siden var denne for eikepreget, men mye har skjedd og denne har virkelig tjent på lengre lagring. Smaken er rik, fyldig og fruktig med tydelig innslag av sitrus og epler. Eiken er tydelig men godt integrert og tilfører et slags karamellisert preg. Det er en lett oljete munnfølelse med herlig saltvannspreg, ren og ganske markant syre, tydelige tretanniner. En ypperlig match til grillet marinert kylling og et godt eksempel på at assyrtiko gjerne kan lagres noen år.
  10 dager senere er duften fortsatt fantastisk god, kanskje bedre! Den har holdt seg utrolig godt, det er et søtlig, modent sitruspreg nå og smaken er fortsatt som beskrevet sist. Nøler ikke med 90-91 p her!

  Deep gold colour. Medium and developing nose with ripe yellow apples, baked lemon, vanilla, charred wood, butter, cinnamon, honey, sea salt and smoke. Medium (+) taste of yellow apples, baked lemon, butter, charred wood, smoke, cinnamon and salty sea. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good and well oaked Assyrtiko that has matured beautifully. Needed two hours of air to open. Drink now. Goes well with cheeses, fish or shellfish.

  Grei frukt, frisk, men eiken er litt for trå med dill og noe nesten vegetalt.
