Began with a strong metallic taste
After some air time - mellowed into the expected wine. Good acidity. Nice lemon citrus flavor.
Has a roundness to it that speaks to the vineyard as if it had some oak but I don’t think it did.
Btw - Sigalas is only Santorini wine I drink. Visited them on my honeymoon. Fantastic place just a short walk down the hill from Oia.

Besides the waiter party foul of knocking a bottle over, this wine was solid.
Well liked by all. Very good structure and backbone to the wine.
Fruit was fairly dark and blackberry in nature. Nothing wild from a red or blue fruit perspective but good black fruit.
I find the quilt reserve to be a good find though a rare wine. — a month ago
Enjoyed this very much. Paired well with sushi — 2 days ago
Opened and decanted for 1 hour before tasting. Clean long cork that was soaked to the edge through.
Aromas of wild forest floor. As it opened, fruit began to emerge
This wine tasted delicious. I don’t even remember specific flavors. It was just very good and easy to drink while also having depth and structure to hold up to black pepper chicken thighs.
Hope my other bottles of this wine shine the same — 9 days ago
I thought this was solid and paired well with the moussaka for dinner
Really good acidity. Some raspberry flavor and earthy notes. Responded well to salt.

Upon opening, this bottle smelled amazing. Ripe wild blueberry and pie like aromas.
First sip and the fruit is present, not quite as jammy as the smell and you get a lot more structure and depth. Some forest bramble and chewiness.
Overall - a steal from auction. Love that people under value the 2011’s — 7 days ago
This wine needs a little bit of airtime to develop. Deep golden hue. The age gives it a bit of hotness that needs to blow off
My favorite part of this wine is the butterscotch richness. Unique and divine. — 10 days ago
Corked broke. Again. Constant issue with older Nickel wines and particularly this one
Thankfully wine was solid. Starts off quite juicy and plush.
With a little time and the right food pairing, it provides a little more grip and flavor.
For me - this took some caviar and salt to really get it going and then it was at another level. Rating is with caviar. Definitely 2-3 pts less without it. — 23 days ago
