Probably waited far too long to drink this...Still pleasant but didn't yield the typical SQN experience. While the SQN essence still shown through a bit, I'm guessing we caught this bottle much too late in its lifecycle. Had it with home-grilled hamburgers and the food most certainly enhanced it. One bottle left - won't keep if cellared for very much longer that's for sure.
Nose hinted of strawberry. This Syrah Rose is definitely not what we'd consider to be a summer wine at this point...

I had little hope of this being drinkable but was very pleasantly surprised. I wouldnt wait to open these if you have them since it has certianly past its peak but was still delicious. We had this alongside the 01 Pagan Poetry, 06 Autrement dit,07 Stripes and Stars and the 09 Packin Rosy. The nose was very funky at first but most of the funk blew off after an hour. Dark and murky, cherry Koolaid with Vodka

Tangy, tart, not very pleasurable.
