The adventure of existence and search does not stop until the end of man's life. The message of the Odyssey, timeless and universal, is conveyed to us by Yannis Economou through Odyssey 2012. Restless, creative, he never stops moving on to his next step. His new "attitude" brings him closer to the winemaking roots of Crete. Odyssey, a 100% Thrapsathiri, is a precursor to a style of winemaking that comes from the island's wine past. It is a white, intensely oxidative wine, with a deep golden colour and tertiary aromatic characters of honey, wax, old wood, dried herbs and intense dry fruit elements. The flavour of the wine gradually peaks, reaching levels of intensity and complexity not often found in white wines. Absolutely gastronomic, a wine that exemplifies Economou's winemaking genius.
The play that Economou is making with oxygen is amazing. The wine artfully straddles oxidation, which has taken it to unique limits of complexity. The barrel is beautifully digested giving sweetness to the aromas, accompanied by nuts, memories of earthy notes and honey. Complexity, tensions, length in the mouth hit the red. The flavors in the mouth build hour by hour leading the wine to an almost endless finish. Memorable, distinctive, a wine that permeates your entire being. The concept of complexity takes on an extra dimension in Odyssey. A wine of reflection and contemplation, a journey on which you should not be in any hurry. After all, there will be so much to be gained on your Odyssey journey. New destinations and new tasting paths.
