Wow. Lime/lemon custard, mineral. Dried flowers. Wonderful tension between snappy and broad/rich.

Quality and complexity that I've only previously found in blended premium oak aged whites. Very complex and earthy with gun flinty notes, packed with tropical and citrus fruit.

Very good assyrtiko from Gaia who also have vineyards in Nemea. This wine had both good acidity and minerality creating a nice complexity. There is also a hint of oak and its ever so slightly oxidized that builds on the complexity and gives it a little body. Very good! Don't like the syntethic cork though!

Smells of Summer. Nose is fresh fruit, peach and white fruit. Flavor starts with vanilla and white fruit, and finishes with lemon.
