Exceptional! Best wine of the night and a real crowd pleaser. Dark, almost black, rich fruit and satisfying mouthfeel. Short decant. Once again, I wish I had more in the cellar!

Smells a touch like wet, burnt syrah and grenache. And a bit of freshness on the palate, and also a bit of huskies, and then a bit earthy. If you needed to check the Turkish mark, why not this one?

Not a lot of depth but a ton of fruit. Bright red cherry preserves, modest tannins and round bodied with a medium finish. Great with lasagna.

A wow wine. A lot richer and fuller than 2020 Carlisle Mancini consumed immediately before, but in balance and not at all overdone. Absolutely on par, qualitywise, with Carlisle SVDs, at a lower price. Great QPR. 94-95

Younger vines and second pass. Harvested two weeks separate. Structured, with some gumption to it.

Rather lean, but undoubtedly tasty. Tangy and not especially exotic, making it drinkable in a way one doesn't necessarily expect of Gewurz. Classy wine, popular with everyone around the table.

Absolutely knock out nose with a wide spectrum of berries and peaches. Just fun to swirl all day. Lighter in weight compared to other Carlisles but focused and precise. Delicious. 93-94

4/23/2024 - dream Likes this wine:

This really improved in the glass and could've even benefitted from a decant. Once it reached it zenith, it just flowed over the palate like liquid cashmere with beautiful dark cherry and bluish fruit and perfect balance. Just a gorgeous Burgundy with many years of life left but with some air, this is close to peak if you like some fruit left in your Burgundy. Has the stuffing to grow more complex over the next two decades if I can keep my hands off it. 95+

Delicious from the pop. Served after a few Carlisle SV bottlings and, while it didn't exceed them, held its own. Feels very complete and balanced, not at all like a "young vines" second label. (Figures given vines are 20+ yrs old) 92-93

Really elegant wine drinking well now with delicious apple and lemon fruit and a lovely complex finish. Quite Burgundian in style but I still preferred the '20 Cuvee Anne for it's better verve and intensity.

Parlak açık sarı yeşil renkli. Burunda olgun armut, sarı elma ve meyveli sakız kokuları, benzer yapıyla ve tatlımsı krema aromaları ile damakta da devam ediyor. Meyve profili çok yoğun olmamasına rağmen asidite yapıyı taşımakta zorlanıyor. Bitimi kısa ve temiz.

Really a superb west coast Chardonnay truly made in a Burgundian style. A year has softened the reduction here and this wine is now delivering on all cylinders with succulent acidity and classy lemon/lime and apple fruit. The finish is complex and tingly not unlike a top village Meursault or Santenay Premier Cru with excellent verve and freshness. Yum.

4/23/2024 - Keith Cooper Likes this wine:

Opened and poured to accompany lamb.

Dark cherry colour.
Deep dark berry spicy fruit on the nose, no evidence of oak.
The palate is predominantly cherry, fully rope, soft and spicy. Well balanced. Quote long. Good vfm.

Drink now.

Bought by my late wife Liz, who loved ripe Chilean wines. Another good choice of hers.

The rich ripeness of this vintage has settled down some and this now delivers a superb Bojo experience. It oozes fresh red fruits but it's beautifully balanced by crisp acidity ending in an enthusiastic juicy finish. A real hit at the Passover table!

Lovely smoky black fruit makes this wine quite alluring along with interesting flavors of warm asphalt and coal dust. Chiseled in style with plenty of acidity yet beautifully layered with a refined, silky texture. The finish perhaps lacks some complexity and power but there are still some crisp tannins and more smoky minerals. Aging so well with plenty left in the tank.

Bought a case at auction on the back of David Peppercorn's comments in 2004. "A wine for those who love Medocs for their own sake and are not slaves to labels". Medium body, pleasantly acidic, sufficient fruit remaining, though initial richness disappears perhaps a little too quickly. This might be my go-to wine for 2024. Can't see it getting any better for keeping.

Pop and pour. A little sweet for a Spätlese, but still has enough acidity. Great match with homemade gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, and chicken with olives and prunes. No reason to hold further.

4/10/2024 - NickA Likes this wine:

Rather sweet, and has varietal typicity, with its exotic fruit and note of honey linctus. Everything kept sufficiently in check to make it a good table wine, too, although (as with a number of the other wines tonight) I found the acidity a little brisk.

4/17/2024 - zabah Likes this wine:

Nice light straw color. Exciting and evocative nose of cat pee, grass, and soil. Then hints of lime and grapefruit peel. On the palate the fruit flavors are very restrained, dominated by minerals and saline. The acid is on the flabby side. The mouthfeel is a bit too oily.

4/21/2024 - jakakun Likes this wine:

Quite delicious. A bit austere upon opening like with a lot of soleras. Takes about 1-1.5hrs for it for the fruit to start showing.

A bracing contrast to the Donnhoff, but intrinsically in balance. Some thyme as well as exotic tropical fruit (hello, 2018), presented in a svelte, tasteful package.

Farven tæt, tydelig violet, Man kan ane bunden. Meget klar, men ikke skinnende. Duften meget ungdommelig, lidt lukket, men masser af blå moden frugt. Tydelig modne og søde amarenokirsebær. Smagen stor koncentration med en dejlig frugt, som pakker syren og tanninen godt ind. Alligevel elegant. Fin balance. Lang koncentreret eftersmag. Rigtig dejlig vin, som smager godt nu, men skal ligge nogle år

Smacks you in the face with red and black fruit and alcohol. Needs maybe 20 years to simmer down; ok I exaggerate on the 20 years, but it would probably be super cool to drink at that time to see what it has evolved into. That all being said, I can see wine people love SQN though. Hell, I might even get one to just have in the cellar and to pop when I am 60yo.

This was just amazing Syrah, kosher or otherwise. Bold spicy fruit, olive brine, very exotic. No Cabernet for sure. Super seductive and aromatic. The last reviewer must have drunk this too early! In my experience, Hagafen Syrahs are their top varietal.

In the lineup, this wine got a bit outshined but it has no doubt been a consistent performer. Not much more to be said. It is an excellent wine.
