Fermented in oak.
Tasted blind. This skews burgundian in its toasty oak and flinty reduction, and follows through with power and grace. The tell that keeps it firmly in Santorini is the palate-whetting salinity that wells up out of its depths, almost brackish in its umami earthiness. Long finish. This could use more time, as well as a salt-baked fish with herbs. 17.5 points

The barrel-fermented 2023 Santorini Alcyone Cuvee Mythologique was aged in a combination of concrete and plastic tanks for 15 months. Though it is initially a bit subdued on the nose, time in the glass gradually releases stony minerality, lime peel and reserved hints of straw. Less concentrated and brooding than the more muscular 2022 tasted alongside, the 2023 is a classic Alcyone Cuvée Mythologique with ample freshness on the streamlined finish. 92 points
