RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Mar 2021 The 2018 Nikteri Canava Chrissou is all Assyrtiko aged for six months in used foudres. It comes in at 14.6% alcohol. This is sourced from centenarian vines, some of whose grapes go into the Laoudia bottling, but these are the ones picked at the highest Brix. Rich, ripe and remarkably delicious, this is a rather balanced Nikteri — many are not — with a big and flavorful finish. It does show off a little wood, but not too much. As it airs and warms, it does also remind you that it is a Nikteri — with that very ripe fruit profile. It coats the palate, delivering waves of flavor. This is impressive in its big and fruit-forward style. It seems positioned to age well. We’ll see in time. There were just 1,500 bottles produced.
RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Apr 2020 The 2018 Santorini (Canava Chrissou) Laoudia Single Vineyard, part of the Louros district, is an Assyrtiko aged on the lees in 500-liter clay amphorae for 10 months. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol, 2.9 grams of residual sugar and 6.3 grams of total acidity. This is all sourced from centenarian vines. If you’re wondering why to trade up from the Vielles Vignes this issue, there are a few reasons, although I would want some of each. It may be mostly a matter of personal taste, but this is a bit richer and more concentrated. It certainly has a more unctuous feel on the palate. It lacks the purity and fresh feel of the Vielles Vignes, though, and it is not quite as elegant. Those are all relative judgments — this holds its balance very well. The method of vinification certainly affects this as well, but it mostly avoids the clay taste that some amphora wines can show too heavily. There is a long and textured finish. While there are pros and cons, not to mention issues of personal taste, to me, this is a somewhat better wine. At the least, it is a bit more interesting and nuanced. It was better the next day too. I would like to see some evidence of it developing in the bottle, though. To date, that has been mostly speculation, but it is worth leaning up for the moment. We’ll take the aging curve in stages. There were just 2,400 bottles produced.
