  5. Assyrtiko from N. Greece, my bookend to Monday's Santorini.

    Gorgeous, there’s laser-like focus and a textured finish--it's all come together perfectly. It needed a couple of years in bottle to blossom. It will be interesting to see how this evolves in the long term.

    It was a good contrast with the Santorini (2016 Pyritis)--not as ripe or as nuanced, less saline, but perhaps more precise and half the price.

    Love the one you're with! Classy effort.

    13.5%, $30-ish. #wine #assyrtiko #greece

  15. The pretty and familiar sea-blue bottle is 2019 Santorini from Gavalas, an elegant, Assyrtiko-dominated creature. Ripe but restrained, it's a textured white with a polished feel, tasty and harmonious.

    This isn't a big blockbuster style, or meant to be, but it drinks beautifully, not a hair out of place, still able to coat the palate. Years left, but in a good place today.

  20. This 2018 "sur lies" Assyrtiko is a fave off of Santorini, also from an island (Evia). Solid in the mid-palate, fresh with a hint of stones, it adds ripe fruit and a tasty finish. It has the concentration to hold up to most typical foods. This is a cut above, not a low-end imitation. In that regard, mid-$30s.

    It has time left, although it's on the brink of another stage of life, but this is a good time to dive in. 13.6% alc.

  25. This lightly oaked Assyrtiko from very old vines 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. See pic #2

    Age allowed it to blossom while remaining completely youthful. It has pulled in the wood, which seems to provide texture and not get in the way even a little. It is still young; lots of time left!

  30. At 15+, this has evolved beautifully and it's holding great. It's deep and has some power, but most of all, this sports great fruit and a surprising burst of flavor. It's a fine performance, big and ripe (14.2%) with a mouth-coating feel and saline end.

    This needed (and sure has benefited from) some age. Who knows how much longer it lasts. It doesn't seem in any imminent danger, but this is a good time to dive in.

  35. Had good luck of late on older Santorini. Gai'a's '08 flagship, just shy of 20 years, is mature & perhaps then some, but enticing with benefits of age

    The color's darker & you can taste some oxidation, but there's also chirpy acidity & rich flavors. Tasty! Be happy if you still have this lively Assyrtiko, but drink soon. The flaw--wasn't as good the next day, when age and more oxidation caught up, power took over. 13%, synthetic cork. About $50 these days
