May 6, 2021 - Up there - close - with the harrowing ‘16 and ‘17, this goddess exudes verve, body and elegance. Blackberry pie, plum sauce, garrigue, river rock and spicy tobacco. Sumptuous, and vibrant, with all the needed tension ... Layers and body. So long and flowing, with distinction and ultimately fine frame. The middle palate, along with the back show grip, and staying power. A classic and the best vineyard from Oak View, the ‘13, #7 is a legend. Drink now - 2036.

June 20, 2020 - Aromatically very 'classic' SQN nose - well integrated toasted oak aromas, meat, toasted spices.
In the mouth very dark fruit, surprisingly 'cool' with no sweetness on the palate. Roasted meat, black olive tapanade, black fruit, lots of spices. Actually rather a lot of acidity and fine-grained tannins.
Somehow like a Cornas on steroids;)
This is now the second NOK that i taste, and they do seem to be stylistically somewhat different from the 'normal' SQN range, being more backwards, with less sweetness and very dark-fruited profile.
Should be interesting to see how it evolves.
