Ratings: Asfothelos 2015: “WINE ADVOCATE” April 2016: 90/100;

 Asfothelos 2017: Wine Advocate 2018: 87/100; 

Asfothelos 2018: Wine Advocate 2019: 88/100: “The 2018 Asfothelos Semi-Dry has energy, a fruity feel, some tension on the finish and a wonderfully fresh demeanor to go with enlivening aromatics. This perky white is a perfect summer wine. It may hold well for a few years, but drink it youngish—when it is fresh and vigorous—for best results".                                      Asfothelos 2018: Jancis Robinson 2019: 16,5/20: “Aroma of wild dried-grasses, herbs, not especially fruity though there is a tangy citrus intensity on the palate. The residual sugar barely shows, just rounding out and balancing the high acidity on the palate.”
