Tasting notes

Yellow-brownish colour with greenish hues. A lot lighter than the Antico Gregori. Very fine and complex nose. Tobacco, flowers, sweet caramel, flowers, some flor. In the mouth this is a lot slimmer and drier in style than the Antico Gregori. The huge intensity of the Antico Gregori is here replaced with a more transparent and even more complex fruit. Different but equally great if not even better. Old dust, tobacco, some flor and a touch of sweet caramel. But also more floral character than the Antico Gregori. Again crisp style with a lot of glycerin. Dry finish with some dry extract showing. Long tobaccoish, mineral finish. This is a tremendous wine that surprised me a bit as it was so different from the normal Antico Gregori. Great QPR.
