Popped and poured; consumed over an hour with a few friends. The 2022 Nostos, Roussanne pours a deep straw color with medium+ viscosity. No signs of particles were gas. On the nose, the wine is very expressive. Notes of peach cup, lemon verbena, honeydew, marshmallows, white lilies, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium acid and medium+ alcohol. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and mineral driven. There is an oily texture too which gives the richness I expect from Roussanne. One of, my favorite examples of the variety in a while. Very well done. Could drink now or hold for 10+ years.

Triple toasted it seemed, to much for me.

I preferred the previous versions (until 2013). Still is a very nice wine, quite different from all others Cretan wines.

(15/20) Аромат леденцов монпансье, яблочного варенья и дыни. Сочетание умеренной кислотности и выпирающего алкоголя даёт ощущение несбалансированности.

I don't love Roussanne. But this one was quite classic and not too heavy on the oak.
