  Just outstanding. Brought to a wine dinner by a generous friend.
  
  Incredible nose of blood, iron, cured meat, game. Palate had tons of structure and minerality with iron earth overlaying savory fruit. Finish shows off some power and the structure again.
  
  This should go another 20-30 years without problem. Pretty remarkable.

  Tonight, this bottle was outstanding. Drank with minimal decanting, this wine was clear and deep red in colour with a nose of dark berries and some graphite. In the glass were flavours of dark fruits mixed with some ripe cherries and a noticeable amount of spices. Both the tannins and acidity were at a balanced level. Finally, each sip of this had an exceptionally long finish!

  This was an exceptional wine. Clear and incredibly deep inky purple in colour with a nose of ripe cherries and some pepper. In the glass were those same ripe cherries alongside white pepper and some vegetal notes. The tannins and acidity were not heavy at all in very balanced. You would never know that this wine is almost 16% in alcohol. One of my wines of the year so far.

  I had high expectations for this bottle. This is an excellent and even impressive Syrah, but is it worth the price? I don't think so. The nose is not very intense, with beautiful aromas of cherries, blueberries, leather and spices. The mouthfeel is impressive on the palate. Showing perfect balance and a long finish. Enjoy now or hold for another 5-10 years.

  very deep purple red color, on the nose a grand spiciness with black fruits pushed to the limit, roasted blackberries, on the palate jammy blackberry fruit, a little bit of heat but with minimal impact given the grand scale of the wine itself, cherry liqueur, great long finish with soy and herbal notes, this is a big boy even by SQN standards with all the unique wonder and carefree wildness I love about this winemaker.
  
  ****, showing well now and no end in sight
