Koutsoyannopoulos (Volcan Wines)
Nikteri Assyrtiko
Rich briny and ashy, with citrus, apple, asian pear fruit, cleansing acidity. Richly hued. Pair with good sardines.

May 18th, 2015Ok, but over-oaked in my opinion. I did get some anise notes or flavors, with some of the other cooking spices, but predominantly heavy butter, like a cheap Chardonnay from CA. Totally covers the light bright minerality that I expect in an Assyrtiko.

Oct 20th, 2017Has a floral taste, also a little salinity. Really an interesting wine. At first the middle is a little hollow, but it transforms as it warms up into the typical assyrtiko

Feb 11th, 2017Light acid, green apple, and pear. Opens up nicely. Great with Greek food, especially salty dips.

May 24th, 2015Nikteri means "the night's work" and it's apparent this wine is a creature of dark hours. Honeyed, marzipan, salted caramel. Alkaline, herbal, salty. If Sherry had no flor and Malmsey Madeira had a Greek baby.
