Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - Opened a second bottle of this last night with grilled pork shoulder. While it paired wonderfully with the meat (including a fantastic lemon, lime, and epazote sauce), this bottle wasn't nearly as spectacular as the first (rated that 96+). Still red-fruit dominated, very smooth, and admirable depth, but I didn't get as much aromatic fireworks or complexity, and the finish was notably shorter than the first bottle. I'd still call it 'outstanding'; just not as 'wow' as the first. Withholding a score, due to less-than-ideal decanting and my belief that this was a slightly 'off' bottle. The '05 Atlantis fe Grenache remains my favorite SQN Grenache from the regular, non-extended aging series.
