Reserve Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Deep rich fully-bodied red. Oak, kir, and berries rise to greet. Starts sharp, with punching acidity and strong astringency. The mouthfeel opens up by mid palate, turning comfortably velvety and revealing cassis, figs, stale coffee and thick perfumed hookah smoke. The finish has a piney quality (like licking untreated wood), and a touch of mint that counters a yummy and persistent black cherry background. The two dimensionality of the tannins is what keeps this from really shining. Great value, good cab. — 11 years ago

Wow. Amazing Aligoté, not to be wasted on a Kir. Could pose as good chardonnay as well. And perfect match for the ceviche. — 12 years ago

Santorini Assyrtiko 1989

9.1

This is the first vintage of Kallisti oak fermented & barrelled, by Yianni Boutari & Yanni Voyatzi (currently the head Oenologist of Boutari). Slightly oxidative complex nose, with honey, salinity, roasted nuts, touch of waxy nose, with a medium body fascinating & delish... and with a vibrant acidity. Boutaris at least in Naoussa & Santorini has crafted some jewels, that are still alive & kicking even after 20-30 years.
The last one I've tasted with Yiannis Voyatzis 2 years ago at two4eight after decanting it 1 hour after Yannis advice. THANK YOU YIANNI & YANNI! — 10 years ago

This just gets better with every try. Up front masses of kir combine with classic NZ notes of soy sauce and Asian spices. The weight is medium-full, velvety tannins all well integrated. A long finish with surprisingly deep notes along the purple fruit end of things, bigger than a typical Pinot but with excellent varietal character and it's own unique qualities. A definite wine of the year candidate. — 11 years ago
