Karamolegos' very old vines 2016 Assyrtiko (up to 120 years) is holding brilliantly.Tightly wound, eventually expressive and powerful,it shows few signs of entering the next phase of development. It seems so young!And it does open and tastes great. That's what I like to see! 14%, ~$60. #wine #greece

2018 Imerovigli village, one of the 7 Villages of Sigalas' Assyrtiko terroir exercise on Santorini. It's beautiful and evolves with air and warmth. In a good place, it's ripe and full, surprisingly fruity for the grape, perfectly balanced and tasty.

Sitting on a boat in the Greek Isles, drinking a fine Assyrtiko out of elegant stemware, listening to a guy who closes his eyes when he talks holding forth about wokeness.

1/2 This Assyrtiko from Pavlidis in Northern Greece is another nice example OFF Santorini. This 2022 is obviously young and fruity. Drunk next to a mature Santorini, it was an interesting contrast in both structure and style. This had its own merits, including nice balance and a sunny personality.

This 2021 high-altitude Assyrtiko from Alpha in N. Greece is a bookend to Monday's Santorini. Assyrtiko's been getting good off of Santorini too! 🫡
Gorgeous today, there's precision and a textured finish--it's all come together perfectly. It did need a couple of years in bottle to blossom.

This Assyrtiko/Athiri blend is mature, maybe then some. If it's a bit oxidized, though, it's also bright and nuanced, leaving me happy to drink it. Tense and tasty, but drink up. It would've done even better a few years earlier. The next day it did seem a little more like an orange wine. 😮 To 2:

The end to Wed. I didn't get to: Classic Vinsanto--mostly Assyrtiko, dollop of Aidani, from very old vines (60/80). Sun dried grapes. This adds 300 g/l of sugar. Yet, it doesn't seem that sweet. There is power here and fine acidity too, even as rich as it is.

BTW, on back label pic, note recommendation of decanting. I often discussed that with Assyrtiko producers. It's not unique to Assyrtiko--I find it true of young, new Rieslings too, esp w/sugar. They were hard to evaluate when young. Taste the next day or decant. At this age, just needed some air.

1/2 One of Santorini's stars. This lightly oaked Assyrtiko from Estate Argyros' VERY old vines (see pic #2) is super today. Ripe but perfectly balanced, it's fresh and deep, tastes great, has gorgeous fruit and a lively demeanor to lift the fruit. It's a beauty from ancient,centenarian vines

Nykteri Reserve '18 (85% Assyrtiko) is in a great place today--developed but young, ripe and fresh. It can hold a lot longer, but it's proving irresistible now. Santo Wines has a restrained Nykteri style, relative to the category--no oxidation here--but deep & delicious with a firm finish.

This 2012 was just singing. I can sometimes excuse a little oxidation for development and complexity, but there was none at age 13. Fresh and focused, this evolved well and held perfectly. Ripe, but textured and showing fine depth, it's super.
