Intense dark plum and cherry fruit but also with a touch of blueberries. It really needs time to open up, 3-4 hours, and when it does it is an explosion of flavors and youthful complexity. Great length and flavor intensity. An absolutely stunning wine!
Opened the bottle 4 hours in advance. Nose is subdued with grilled plums, dark cherries. Palate is an explosion of flavors 1 layered, with plums, blackberries, dark cherries, great acidity, spice, medium tannins, long ending with balanced notes of vanilla. Such a young but already complex wine - fruit forward but elegant and balanced at the same time. Excellent just as expected.

I just can't drink SQN young. Opened for about 2 hours, needed about 10 more hours to even be approachable. typical huge blue fruits, floral with a big tannic backbone. No doubt well made wine.

Rich powerful cherry and blackberry on nose. Palate dark cherry some spice extracted and thick. Long finish. Worth it when you can.
