Tasting note
Six years on, Santorini's basket-trained old vines still crackle — lemon and flint on salt air, density without weight. Austere, yes, but prachtig austere; the island in its Sunday best.
Flight 1 'Assyrtiko from Santorini'. Ungrafted old vines trained in baskets (kouloura), dense and long-lived.
Tasted at «Off the Beaten Track», an LCV Suisse evening on 12 January 2024. The circle's average: 17.28/20 — my score: 17/20.
