Lyrarakis, 'Queen' Liatiko, Liatiko, 2023, Crete (PGI) South Africa finesse and a slightly creamy'One Liner' A bright, juicy Cretan red with wild berry fruit, fine tannins and a lovely fresh finish. Tasting Note Light ruby in the glass. The nose is expressive and lifted, with dark cherry, wild berries and a lightly herbal edge. On the palate it feels juicy and balanced, with fine tannins, bright fruit and a fresh, easy flow that makes it very drinkable. Theres plenty of character here, but it stays light on its feet.
