  Dense as bees would have been making it, rich aromas of summer meadows, nice acidity. A stunner...

  An unusual wine, made from the Vidiano grape which is slowly making a comeback from near extinction. Grown in Crete on the slopes of the highest mountain. Med + body, Oily texture, taste of bruised apricots, some citrus and tropical notes and salinity.

  Extremely dry, herbal, saline - no fruit to speak of. Went beautifully with a white clam pizza. High desert herbs, cooked down vegetables, bit of white pepper (like the trinity of celery, peppers and onion cooked down and seasoned to make a jambalaya - if that makes any sense). Good acidity. Really different style - not many wines I can compare to.

  Malihin - Chryssos tasting (Oinoscent): Bottle bought from distributor to try at Oinoscent during afternoon shift
  The grapes were harvested from 650 altitude, 6 months on lees, btl no 460/3510
  The wine is bright in the nose with medium to high intensity, showing grapefruit, fresh vegetal notes, lime, lemon peel, pear and some floral notes.
  In the palate the wine shows high intensity, more on the vegetal side, the fruit is in the back with grapefruit and lime. The wine shows medium acidity and mineral notes with a medium finish.
  The wine screams for food, it’s bright and fresh. Nice
