Tasting at Boutari Winery

Including a vertical tasting of seven vintages of their Santorini Assyrtiko wine
Only five labels shown but 2008 and 2010 look the same
I liked the 2008 and 2009 best, available for sale at 100 Euros each
The 2012 was oxidized, over the hill, but not due to bottle variation, the rep said.
Opening another bottle would be the same (yet still for sale at 60 Euros)
