Some funky reduction on the nose, waxy & floral blowing away to leave salt marsh. Relatively dense for a white wine. Saline minerality, citrus pith, prominent acidity. — 2 months ago

Damn. That’s a great verdicchio. Salty and mineral. Reminds me of Sigalas but on the Adriatic. — 2 years ago

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. — 2 years ago

Выпито 04.01.21 по приезду в Constance Moofushi на Мальдивы. Интересная комбинация совиньон блага и семильона 2015 года. Вино на пике зрелости. После естественной декантации ( в бутылке ) на завтра стало ещё нежнее. Понравилось. — 4 years ago

2014 vintage. As Sauternes suffers from a lethal combination of high production costs and low demand, it is about time we all start drinking more of it. The 2014 vintage combines a lot of botrytis with high acidity resulting in beautifully balanced wines that are very attractive young but should age beautifully for decades. Rabaud Promis has a long history (a lot of it in common with Sigalas Rabaud), but has been in the hands of the Dejean family for the last 4 generations. In early 2020 Jean Merlaut (Bordeaux négociant and owner of Gruaud Larose) took a majority share in Rabaud Promis, but Thomas Dejean remains the winemaker. And to judge from this terrific effort there is indeed no reason to change the winemaker. 80% Sémillon, 16% Sauvignon blanc and 4% Muscadelle. Brilliant golden yellow. Intoxicating complex perfume of fresh and dried fruits, flowers and subtle roasted flavours combined with an amazing lemony freshness. The mouth confirms this complexity with layers of concentrated fruit, balanced by crispy acidity and a knock-out brown sugar, lemon confit and noble rot "rôti" finish. It has amazing intensity while remaining light on its feet. Fabulous value at 28 euros! Abv. 12,6%. Note: these wines are much more versatile at the table than you think. While foie gras and blue cheese are classic combinations, I tried it today with veal, sautéed carrots and mushrooms and baked potatoes. Works really well. I invite you all to experiment with the culinary possibilities of these wines. — 4 years ago
