  Hard to describe - really unique white wine. Incredible complexity, med/full body, immense finish for a white, coming in part I think from its very high ABV (15.2% ). Loved it. Decanted three hours.

  Deep gold in colour and clear. This wine had a strong nose and flavours of caramel and honey. In the glass were also apricots. This wine was quite crisp with quite a bit of acidity. This bottle appears to be getting better with some age and it showed as the best bottle of the few that I have tasted.

  Wow this is a different wine! Grapefruit, vanilla, citrus flowers, it's really unctuous too. This is something else!

  decanted for a few hours - still could have been opened longer, but showed lovely floral notes and a honeyed tone to complement the dried peach and pear notes.

  Wow - just wow. I have never had a bottle of Sine Qua Non that wasn't something very special, but this is one of my favs. Citrus on the nose. Grapefruit, honey and mint on the palate. A glacial finish. Wonderfully integrated flavors that form a very complex mouthful. We drank it with herbed crabcakes from a master chef on a sailboat in the Bahamas. Anything may have tasted good in a situation like that, but this wine was as good as the food and the ambiance!
