... [This Assyrtiko] is a big, burly one ... Sigalas ... boldly recommends cellaring this for two years before consumption, not exactly typical for Greek whites. His wines certainly show very steely when young and age better than most, so take his recommendation to heart ... [S]howing fine fruit and an unusually ripe fruit flavor nuance ... It seemed quite delicious at times ... This burly, ripe, somewhat hard-edged Santorini ... has many virtues of its own ... it will be interesting to see where it goes over the longer haul. Drink now-2021. Score: 90 (Mark Squires, erobertparker.com, June 2011)

Wow, what a nice white wine. Fresh, and pleasing with interesting minerality. Smooth with well balanced acidity. Flavours of citrus fruits with a subtle touch of black licorice. Tasted February 2012.
