"The Estate Argyros 2016 Santorini Vinsanto First Release (in a 500-milliliter bottle) is made with sun-dried grapes and delivers honey, apricot jam, dried fig and sesame seed paste. I also get hints of toasted rye bread or sweet oats. This syrupy dessert wine reveals a light brown color that looks like unpolished copper, and its shows a very rich, sugary mouthfeel with an almost dusty or velvety texture. It is powered by a moderate 13% alcohol content and 200 grams per liter of residual sugar. But don't understate that freshness; in the case of this wine, it tastes like freshly squeezed blood orange."
