2018 vintage. Very dark-fruited and Burgundian. Firm, yet fine-grained tannins. Black plum skin, cranberry, black tea, tangerine peel, rose petal, tree bark, autumn leaves, fresh blackberry. Really quite good at the proper temperature. I had it over-chilled initially and found it rather thin. Comparable to a village or 1er Cru level Nuits-Saint-Georges or the like. — 2 years ago
2021 vintage. Leesy roundness and ripping acidity have a good tension in this wine. Melon rind and flesh, green pear, lemon, green apple, rocks, Alka Seltzer. Delightful. — 2 years ago
2020 vintage. Great Riesling character with green apple, lime, white peach, pineapple skin, wet rocks, light florals. Zippy and fun! Bubbles kept remarkably well, as this took way too long for me to get to. — 2 years ago
2021 vintage. Fans of Friulian PG, Pinot Gris, Chenin, Campanian whites, Vermentino, etc. please apply. Medium- to full-bodied with coppery color, suggesting skin contact. Overripe pear, lemon peel, rotten apple, leaves. Village appellated Cretan white. Beautiful package. Very Fall appropriate. Very grounding in a tumultuous time! Love you, Douloufakis! — 2 years ago

2022 vintage. Rounded quality to the fruit. Melon, unripe nectarine, green almond, poached pear, yellow apple, linen, chamomile, something vaguely herbal like sage or thyme, but very lightly so. — a year ago
