  Still full of lush ripe heavy dark fruits, little minerality, smooth (nonexistent?) tannins and a sweet long smooth finish. Came in a close second to a wine that cost 1/5th as much. (See my same day review of the Renaissance Yuba Syrah).
  
  A great wine to sit around and sip with your wine friends who appreciate the cost of this bottle. Don't bother to open it for unappreciative rabble.

  Decanted 1-2 hrs and drank over the course of the evening. Best bottle of 3. Great nose, tannins resolved yet fruit has faded and acidity is unbalancing. Maybe past its prime.

  Another great performance from SQN. Pure Syrah reminiscent of ASITD, although maybe not delivering at that level, but still extraordinary. Black pepper, smoky meat, bramble, an abundance of dark fruit and great concentration. Will definitely seek out more bottles.
