Skouras Peloponnese Moscofilero 2022

Wine Advocate : 90 Points

(6/9/2022) The 2021 Moscofilero (in the Skouras transliteration) comes in with 4.5 grams of residual sugar, 6.4 of total acidity and 12.2% alcohol. This is sourced from vines at 650 meters in altitude. A kinder and gentler wine than the Salto in this report, this foregoes the acidic zing in favor of a rounder feel and easier balance between acidity and residual sugar. That makes this seem more full-bodied in perception, less silky and less tense. If at times that also makes this one a little simpler, less individualistic and less energetic, it is more likely to be the crowd-pleaser in style. I thought it was a bit too simple on opening. Trying it the next day brought out its structure, though, and made it far more lively and aromatic as well. Drink this now or in the next couple of years. Drink Date: 2022 - 2027.

Wine & Spirits : 90 Points

(10/2023) Soft and piney, this moschofílero is like grown-up lemonade, in the best way. Delicately lively lemon juice and pith accent soft pear and almond notes. This tastes like a lot of management in the cellar, but to a good end.
