  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.

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

  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.
