Simon Field | Light in color, a reticent shard shared sparingly by the nose. Dry sun-drenched pavements and a hint of tapenade. The palate is unassuming, feminine, gently persuasive, the fruit profile informed by the orange grove with the gentlest pinch of white pepper to season the humor and to ensure gastronomic versatility. Far from complex but quietly engaging, like early Camus. | 85
Andrew Jefford | Brilliant white. Pretty sweet melon-custard fruit, like a kind of Chardonnay of the eastern Mediterranean. Clean and fresh, sweet-fruited, and yet with brisk acidity. There’s no particular aromatic complexity here, but it’s still sound commercial wine. | 83
Demetri Walters | Delicate peach fragrance leads a fairly plump palate, with hints of lemon and good freshness. Sweet-fruited and expressively candied. Very bright and fresh. This is a really excellent Xynisteri that combines boldness but also considerable complexity and restraint. Charming. | 93
