2016 Assyrtiko-Athiri

The 2016 Aa is the typical 75/25 blend of Assyrtiko and Athiri, unoaked and coming in at 13.5% alcohol. This seemed stunning on release, and it remains so. Concentrated and a little closed on opening, it was actually better, far more expressive, the next day. Coating the palate, it has more weight than I expect from the blend and a lingering, textured finish. This will easily hold several more years—maybe more. It's in fine shape and might still improve.
