95 Points

Thursday, October 28, 2021 - Cellared since release, open in bottle for an hour, cork crumbled, throwing a ton of sediment, 15.4...Blue Label is their extended barrel aged an extra year...the wine is in GREAT shape! Dark and extracted...very youthful liqueured blackberry/blueberry/bing cherry fruits...sweet, full bodied, jammy...yet plenty of refreshingly lifted acidity, graphite, creme de cassis to integrate well and offer wonderful dryness to the sweet. The wine is packed with everything...olive tapenade, white pepper, tar, cold smoked meats, red licorice, leather...more smoky oak spice and polish from the barrels...super pretty white flower and violet florals...so expressive with a finish for days! The SQN-ish feminine power and balance is sure evident here...amazing drink now, with plenty more left in the tank!
