March 1, 2024 - Agree 110% with Ex-Ray's 11/5/23 review.
I don't know how to score this one. It's good, I encourage anyone to try it, but I think I could taste this blind once a week and would swing 5+ points depending on mood. -

January 23, 2024 - Sine Qua Non Trouver L’arene 2015.
God help us all.
Go big får en helt ny dimensjon.
Dette er fullstendig tettpakket med fat, frukt og alkohol (15,6%).
Sinnsyk konsentrasjon og tyktflytende tekstur - det er så heftig, men også krevende å drikke.
Slitsomt rett og slett.
Er så mye stuffing her, så vinen vil nok overleve oss alle.
Imponerende? Ja på et vis, men digg er det ikke.
Enorm lengde med heftige tanniner.
Sitter i minutter.
Hva skal man score dette?
Robert Parker ga 100p, jeg gir 90p for innsatsen.🤷♀️ -

November 5, 2023 - Dark garnet purple, completely opaque. Don't get much aroma, but what there is is blackberry and other dark fruits. Very high extract fruit, very viscous, very tannic. Flavors big and powerful but one-dimensional. Very long, somewhat hot aftertaste. Hopefully it will soften and gain complexity in 3-5 years. I'll hold my others until then. Tasted alongside 2015 SQN grenache, virtually identical.

May 22, 2023 - Decanted 2+ hours, it is a minimum in my opinion for any SQN. This bottle was fantastic.

December 24, 2022 - Has opened up very nicely and it is really starting to show some complexity while still maintaining a very youthful fruit profile.
Needs a few hours to open up but when it does, it is firing on all cylinders. Stunning length and depth and just an amazing wine!2 people found this helpful Comment
