There is no question that this wine is a good Assyrtiko. But is it worth its high price? I think not. Excellent salinity combined with lemon, this wine is perfect with anchovies or salty foods. I had it with Ramen, which worked. But it remains an Assyrtiko, not a high-end Burgundy, Bordeaux, or Napa Chardonnay. And it is hard to distinguish from excellent Assyrtikos at half the price.

Absolutely perfect with a grilled salmon with cucumber yogurt sauce. Beautiful mineral and acid. The linger is rich and full -bodied.
