The 2011 SANTORINI is Assyrtiko and a rather refined and carefully crafted one that slowly evolves and unwinds demonstrating its persistence and the ability to improve dramatically in the glass. Boutari seems to have a style emphasizing harmony and balance if I can add insights from what I see in Naoussa as well. This is always a more forward Santorini without the pure power some of the others often show. If this starts with subtlety however it gradually becomes more impressive this year as it lingers in the glass and unfolds showing layers crispness and persistence that I wasn't initially sure it had. This is a very fine performance if rather low key performance in this vintage a harmonious well balanced offering with surprisingly good aromatics perhaps tinged by a hint of herbaceousness. For Assyrtiko this has a lot of personality. I didn't start out impressed but it was hard to give up the glass. Drink now-2016.
