Oeno P Tria Ampelia 2020, the first vintage from this new botique winery in Santorini, set up by Paris Sigalas, of Domaine Sigalas fame. 100% Assyrtiko from various parcels, an average vine age of 60 years. Aged in amphorae for 16 months. The typical salinity and acidity of Assyrtiko, with rounded mid-palate of citrus fruits, melon, and a medium length finish. Tasted at recently opened tasting room at the northern end of Santorini, near Oia.
Needs some age to open, lovely as it is. — 3 years ago
Выпито 16.03.25 в Протарасе с Ириной и Александром Л. в ресторане Kalamies. Неплохой ассиртико 2023 с острова Санторини. Но немного горьковат. — 3 months ago
Because the champagne wasn't impressive I went into the deeper parts of my cellar to dig up a sweet wine which I knew would please the crowd. 21 year-old and kicking!
Apricot, honey, dry fruits, hasselnuts, wax, preserved orange peel, sweet bready touches too. The botrytis thing is strong! The palate is surprisingly long, easy going and fresh! It was a very hot vintage but it seems they managed to keep some freshness in the berries because the acid drive, which is massive, is balancing the sweetness of the wine so much that it's almost a palate cleanser. Apricot and honey notes all long, before a very long and fresh finish that goes on for a good 35 to 40 seconds. We need to make Sauternes a hot thing again ! — 6 months ago

2018 vintage. 100% Sémillon, aged in barriques for 8 months. Deep yellow colour. This really looks, smells, and tastes like dry Sauternes. Exotic fruits, lemon confit, crème anglaise,honey and flowers. Intense, powerful taste with exotic fruits, a round mouthfeel, and a subtle bitterness in the long finish. An unusual, exuberant wine that might not please everyone, but a great culinary challenge for hobby cooks and real chefs alike. Abv. 14%. — 9 days ago
