By the glass. Bottle of Assyrtiko from the island of Crete. 12.8 ABV. A potpourri of citrus fruits without much definition receives you on the nose highlighting notes of pink grapefruit and tangerine aromatics. On the palate it offers a strange combination, extremely dry but at the same time with acidity and a limestone finish. Ordinary if anything.
Por copas. Botella de Assyrtiko procedente de la isla de Creta. Volumen alcohólico de un 12.8%. Un pupurrí de cítricos sin mucha definición te recibe en nariz destacando notas a pomelos rosas y a aromaticas mandarinas. Al paladar ofrece una extraña combinación, extremadamente seco pero a la vez con acidez y un final calizo. Ordinario si acaso.

Light yellow color in the glass with a slight tinge of gold. Aromas of lemons, apples and pears. On the palate, disappointing because of the lack of acidity expected in Assyrtiko. Additionally, the bland character in the mouthfeel and not having much of a “fresh” taste was not appealing.
