1974 Estate Argyros Vinsanto 500ml (Pre-arrival)

“I tasted this incredible wine from barrel because it has not been officially released. The Estate Argyros 1974 Santorini Vinsanto delivers a surprising level of freshness that comes from the quality of the fruit and from the wine’s natural acidity. It’s hard to know where to begin and end the descriptors. There are aromas of molasses, caramel toffee, cookie crumble, hazelnut paste and maple syrup. But you also get tart plum and persimmon. Winemaking follows the same protocols used in the estate’s Vinsanto Late Release, and therefore the grapes are dried under the sun for two weeks. This is a nearly indestructible wine and a true Santorini beauty.”
