  Shear's Holiday blowout 2021: Complex notes of blackberry, menthol and a floral component. Has the seamless palate that is a signature of SQN wines. Just a treat to take in. I could smell this wine all night.

  Big brawny wine. Still too young to drink. Give it another 5 years or so.

  No decant pop n poir through aerator and maintained at 60 F. Rich dark fruit, roasted meat, white pepper, lavender and sage. 20 to 30 second finish. Nose of camphor and incense. Still young but drinkable with some air. Stunningly complex. Closed up after about 2.5 hours with tannins emerged. 96 now 97-98 in a few years. Reminded me of a top Cote Rotie.

  8th Annual Holiday Dinner and Cellar Raid - A Month Late (Naperville, IL): Part of wine dinner and cellar raid so did not take detailed notes. Rather than wait until late in the night to bring out the ringers, we chose to start right off the bat with the SQN Next of Kyn to start the cellar raid. I really do wish I took the time for more detailed notes. This was as perfect as a wine could get. I have never given the 100 score, but thought I'd start with this one. Easily the WOTN most likely the best wine i've had the pleasure of tasting

  Always a special day when I open one of these from any year. This was one of my oldest. Velvet is a word used to describe wine. This fits that description as long as the velvet imagined is silk.
