Tasting note

...one of Greece's more familiar and finer whites... With fine solidity and crisp acidity supporting the fruit, plus an amazingly pure, transparent and freshly bottled nuance, this is just lovely on opening, clean and long, although not quite as mouth-coating as sometimes seen...resampled the next day. The acidity was a bit more dominant, the underlying power was showing more. Suddenly, the unassuming and friendly, fruity finish on Day 1 was quite gripping and intense. On the third day, it was even more powerful as it warmed and aired out, showing remarkable grip, power and intensity and more underlying stuffing than I thought it had. It simply grabbed the palate. While it is an interesting and still enjoyable variation to drink this so young... it is likely to show even better in the summer of 2014....this seems right in line with the fine bottlings coming from Gai'a. Drink now-2020. Score - 92. (Mark Squires, erobertparker.com, Feb. 2013)
