Perhaps the most restrained SQN Syrah I've had since E-raised. This drank like an incredibly balanced, nuanced mid 90s LaLa. Perfectly on the right edge of extreme extraction. Restraint but power in spades. — 9 years ago

This is my 4th check in on this wine and it is truly in full stride. A very lala type flavor profile, perhaps more so than any SQN rhone varietal I've had. Grilled meats, charred cedar and bay leaf mixed with a ripe Alban-esque stewed tomato back end (in a good way)....but a bit more restraint and polish than the Alban. This got about an hour in the decanter and I would suggest triple that. As expected each taste of the night in glass was better than the last. A 3 hour decant and just the right food pairing and this could be +/- 100 point wine. — 10 years ago


O que dizer de um vinho, do Novo Mundo, com 19 anos de vida? Bora lá experimentar, já que esse ainda se mantém vivo e elegante, tal e qual um europeu. — 11 years ago

Holy smokes! Made in the same style as a LaLa with a dollop of viognier for aromatics...and it pulls it off flawlessly. Gorgeous wine. — 8 years ago
