Vinsanto First Release 2014

Light-red dessert wine having flavors on the chocolate side along with raisin and honey, finishing with a nutty flavor. I had it with Chicken Vindaloo but this would pair better with Lamb Vindaloo. Good for chocolate desserts. — a month ago

Hard to find anything other than superlatives for this. We finished a third today and are looking forward to how it evolves open over how many additional days we have the patience to sip without finishing it. — 5 years ago

Cuvee Monsignori Assyrtiko 2017

Sniffing upon opening, this had me jumping for joy – and I’m not exaggerating. What an introduction! I immediately chose to decant the wine, although in hindsight I don’t think that’s really necessary. The ‘Cuvee Monsignori’, one of the flagship wines from Estate Argyros in Santorini, is 100% Assyrtiko from ancient (~200 year old) vines, the minimal yield of which is then fermented in stainless steel, and aged for ten months on its lees. The island was never affected by phylloxera, hence the vines’ great age. It’s a muscular, chiseled, lean wine with the precision of the very best Chablis and impeccable concentration of fruit. It carries the smoke of the island’s volcanic soils (this is no floral language: it really smells of it), beautiful flinty reduction, depth and harmony on the palate and a long, saline finish. It may count among the world’s finest whites, and all for around £30 (if you can find it). Why didn’t I buy this by the case? I’ll never know. Superb. — 4 months ago

Atlantis White Blend 2017

9.1

Delicious: had a savory nutty biscuit w/dill which gave way to white flowers, tangerine & dried pineapple. Very expressive, steely stony minerally grippy sappy w/linear acidic backbone. Really unusual, nice heft & persistence on finish. — 4 years ago
