I am well impressed by this. Still vibrant and lots of citrussy frui. Excellent acidity. Clean. Am eating fish pie with it. Had half a 5kg salt baked salmon left which I froze and am now smashing to smithereens at intervals. This wine (bought from D Byrne, maybe in 2019) is the perfect accompaniment. I could well look at other wines from this producer. My previous experiences with xynisteri have not always been good!

A lot of hype around this wine usually worth it but this time round felt very ordinary and lacked a bright feel. As if they pushed the ripeness and forgot the acidity which usually makes this special. 87 and not memorable at all.

While this is always a benchmark Xyni , the 17 is disappointing. Still quite good, but dilute and the tropical fruits are on the sweet side so lacks the clarity and precision needed. Good bright acids and a nice succulence. Linear structure and nicely defined which saves this wine.

J’adore son acidité et sa fraîcheur, une valeur sûre et un excellent rapport qualité prix.

Lots of tropical fruits and residual sweetness, balance is completely off - no, I didn’t like this young Xynisteri from Kyperounda. Yikes
