2009 年的 Santorini “Barrel Fermented” 由 Assyrtiko 葡萄混釀而成，開始在木桶里發(fā)酵，然后在法國橡木桶里熟成 6 個(gè)月。它十分細(xì)膩，散發(fā)著怡人的橡木味，各種風(fēng)味都融合得很好，結(jié)構(gòu)十分均衡，很有深度，風(fēng)味持久，驚人的細(xì)膩與精致，是一款上等的在木桶中發(fā)酵的 Santorini。它不像其他在橡木桶里熟成的 Santorini 一樣緊致，其它方面也很特立獨(dú)行，橡木味很淡，不含香草的氣息。不失為一款絕好的佳釀。適飲期：現(xiàn)在至 2022 年。

此款清爽的白葡萄酒美味可口，風(fēng)味均衡，帶有檸檬和橙子的味道，并伴有鹽味。酸度較高，果香四溢，余味爽脆，活力十足。該酒美味可口，可與多種食物搭配佐餐，最好與烤魚和烤肉搭配佐餐。評(píng)分：90。

The 2007 ASSYRTIKO BARREL FERMENTED is, not surprisingly, the same wine as the 2007 Assyrtiko reviewed here…but with oak (6 months). It has what may be a touch of tannin on the finish, beautiful balance and excellent integration of the oak. As with its unoaked sibling, this has some aging potential and it is many cuts above the sunny, Summer weight whites that one so often sees. It is a little jarring to see the oak after the unoaked, crisper wines, but this is nonetheless done exceptionally well. In fact, Sigalas handles oak on Assyrtiko as well or better than anyone in Greece. Drink now-2015. I had probably my best tasting in Greece at this fine estate on Santorini. On Santorini, 80% of the ancient, pre-phylloxera vineyard area is planted with white grapes. All but 10% of that is Assyrtiko, and by law a Santorini appellation white must be at least 75% Assyrtiko. So, a winery here must master this difficult but very fine grape to succeed. Sigalas does, consistently producing superb Assyrtiko, either dry, steely and unoaked; or with oak (no small achievement), or in the sweet Vinsanto style. Some library wines are included to illustrate the winery’s track record and consistency. Granting that the weather on Santorini is often said to produce good vintages on a fairly consistent basis, this is still an impressive track record.Importer: Diamond Importers, Chicago, IL; tel: (773) 549-6211

The 2003 ASSYRTIKO BARREL FERMENTED again shows Sigalas’ fine touch with oak. Powerful, tight and brooding, this has a gripping and penetrating finish with high acidity, probably a touch of tannin. It is remarkably fresh and youthful, unfolding nicely in the glass. Drink now-2016. I had probably my best tasting in Greece at this fine estate on Santorini.
