    Palate a bit more balanced than the nose, dried fruit, sour cherry, dried tomato, herbs, tannins big and dry, full body, elevated acidity, med finish.

    March 2, 2024 - Mittelkräftiges Rubin, dezenter Orangeton am Rand. Die Nase ist vielschichtig, zeigt erste Reifetöne, Gewürze, Trockenkräuter, balsamische Noten, Kokosnuss, dazu getrocknetes Leder und Tee, komplex. Im Gaumen zugänglich, auf den Punkt gereift, das Tannin ist weich, stützt zusammen mit der gut verpackten Säure die rote Beerenfrucht. Der Wein ist sehr balanciert, besticht mit Eleganz und zeigt im Abgang eine sehr gute Länge, würzig-rotfruchtig im Rückaroma. 2023, bis 2030 geniessen, 92 vvPunkte

    December 10, 2023 - Semi translucent garnet red. Extremely complex and captivating nose that is quite difficult to pinpoint. Sweet spice, marinated cherries, clove, leather, dried flowers, strawberry paste are just a few of them. The mouth feel is ethereal with subdued tannins and juicy acidity and a long and hedonistic aftertaste. This is a world class wine showcasing the enormous potential of liatiko. The QPR is really a joke. Grab it when you still have the chance.

    November 10, 2023 - Great QPR, on the nose: intense smell of ripe red cherry and slight jammy aromas, high acidity, high tannins, juicy and delicious, very long after taste. Needs about one hour of air, it will get better with more age.
