  Park90 / Grand Cru SQN Masterclass: 71% Roussane, 29% Viognier; 15.5% alcohol. Expressive floral aromatics, still very young and fresh on the palate. Preferred the restraint here compared to the 2019 which was too flabby. Impressive weight, but became more candied with air. Fine for S$100 but S$500? You must be kidding.

  Tasted at the Sine Qua Non Q.E.D. The Masterclass Experience, part of the Fruits of the Vine 2024 at The Singapore Edition organised by Grand Cru.
  
  Gold in colour with a very aromatic bouquet on the nose which resembles fresh mocha. The fragrance is due to the presence of the significant amount of the Viognier. On the nose, notes of tangerine, peach, apricot, honey, melon and mountain herbs were distinct and in harmony.
  
  The freshness of this wine is amazing and memorable, with white stone fruits and a touch of bitterness and slight hint of flint and oiliness. On the whole, this wine presented an overwhelming attack, amazing mid-palate and astonishing finish.

  Ojai Food + Wine Festival; 10/26/2023-10/29/2023 (Ojai Valley Inn): Really wonderful but first time a SQN white has felt a little bit long in the tooth for me.

  Being a long time SQN lover, and have primarily focused on the reds... it is first over the last year or so, I am honing in on his whites.
  
  As with Manfred's reds, the whites I feel his best efforts were in the 2000's and the 2010+ are of a different (but also great) period.
  
  This SQN Body & Soul I tried in Singapore on a lark at the Summer Palace for lunch.
  
  We gave it a good hour of decant, and on the first nose, it was almost bees wax with little excitement, and the first sip hardly had a heartbeat!
  
  10mins into the conversation and the wine having settled, it was a cornucopia of expressive honeysuckle, apricot white peach lemon drop goodness..... I am now scrounging the net to find any bottles worldwide.

  Dinner with Dan (Chez Mike, East Greenbush, NY): Pop and pour. A little too cold at first, but opens up over 20 minutes to reveal a big floral nose of lemon custard and spice. Complex and rich in the mouth. Long finish. Excellent match to a pork cutlet.
