ARGYROS |
| Extremely bright very pale straw colour. Attractive, fairly intense, mineral-tinged, very slightly spicy, ripe lemon-apple-melon nose. Very dry, medium bodied, mineral-tinged, bright, intense, ripe lemon-melon-apple flavours with a lingering, crisp, unoaked, mineral-tinged finish. This 100% Santorini Assyrtiko has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number 100217 on the back label. The recommended best buy 2015 (***) was released on April 16, 2016 at only $22.95. TONY ASPLER / 90-points / BEST BUY - Minerally, Meyer lemon nose; medium-bodied dry, elegant and crisp with lemon and crabapple flavours that linger long on the palate. The price seems a tad high - the same item at the SAQ currently sells for only $25.25 (# 11639344). The best buy white of the Mediterranean Feature with 15 items. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Appetizingly fresh, zippy nose: lime juice, pears and salty sea-spray. Beautifully fresh, dry and intense with incisive, but modulated, acidity and an elegantly textural feel. Fruit in the citrus spectrum. Palate goes on and on. Drinking Window: 2017-2024. Score - 93 (Joanna Simon, Decanter, April 12, 2017) |
