  September 22, 2022 - Grapes for Great Causes: Older SQN and SE Flight ‘06-‘09 (Les Nomades Chciago): All the SE Flights were decanted for 3 1/2 hours. This one still had a tight start in the glass. My opinion, too young. Pronounced cab flavor with the smoothness of the merlot. Hold for 5+years.

  July 13, 2021 - Not the Big Dog...but hey...it's only tuesday! Decanted for a couple hours...67% CS, 33% Merlot...this is DA BOMB! Right off the bat, killer dry extract of licorice and graphite...SILKY smooth pureness...with intoxication floral and exotic spiced dark red berry fruits...cherry, raspberry, plum jelly...still very youthful with a good dusty spiced tannic grip...yet that velvet glove thing. There is really no signs of age from 8yrs ago since I last had a bottle...this has integrated and balanced itself to SE levels...just KILLER savory mineral dryness, kirsch liqueur, sweet exotic spices and perfect wood integration...it has plenty of structure for more age...and tbh...I kind of like it better than the last couple SE's I've had(03/09). Total class wine here!

  January 7, 2021 - Inky, deep purple color. Sweet, dark fruits, mocha, raspberry, lead pencil, spice with vanilla oak. Beautifully structured, heady wine with some voluptuous, integrated tannins that glide around your palate giving it an exciting mouthfeel that’s not too heavy. There’s likely complexity that will develop with time. Quite an incredible showing for a “second” wine.
  
  p.s. grilled spicy ginger teriyaki chicken with Greek salad and farmers cheese pierogis.

  December 26, 2020 - Not quite as good as the 2010 I had earlier this year but still a wonderful bottle of wine. Had this with 2005 Mouton and 2008 Schrader CCS...all were solid. Most of my family doesn't drink wine of this quality but they all picked this as their favorite of the day. Decanted for 2 hours then drank over another 2+. Very soft right out of the gate. Nose is somewhat subtle but nothing out of place. Nice long finish. I'm sure this will age much longer but it drinks very well now.

  December 4, 2019 - Continues to be one of, if not my favorite vintage of SF. Just an absolutely beautiful wine.
