Notes: Moderate aroma of
vanilla a nd lemon with hints of
flowers and chalk and a distinctive ‘meaty’ quality. Fresh and vibrant with lots of tart lemon
fruit at the beginning, leading into a full body of fruit, vanilla, flowers,
and chalky minerality. Relatively short
finish of tart lemon, vanilla, and minerals.
This wine surprised me with
its quality. Although not particularly
complex, this is the type of white wine I would seriously consider for everyday
drinking, as it has many of the flavor components I enjoy in white wine with
bracing acidity that keeps it lively. I
am surprised at how fresh this wine tastes nine years after harvest. I imagine the use of new oak as well as the
natural acidity has helped it to survive.
I regret not trying this wine sooner and look forward to the opportunity
to try a more recent vintage, as well as additional Greek wines.
Value: Good to very good
