November 26, 2022 - Christmas BYO (Michaels House): Such a lovely and intense wine, packed with young cherry and blackberry fruit. Amazing balance and aftertaste. Simply stunning! 97-98p

September 7, 2022 - Dinner at Pelagos, Astir Palace, Athens (Pelagos, Astir Palace, Athens): Tasted blind. We said SQN 10yrs old Syrah.
This made by the son of the Krankls is in a way the apple that has not fallen away from the tree. The style is very similar, very much a big wine but also a harmonious wine with everything elevated and albeit with a lot of alc the alcohol is not out of place or rules the wine. To us this harmony of the big alcohol with the rest of the big and elevated elements of the wine is a key sign of SQN ( and this baby SQN) vs others who try to make the style. This was a touch sweeter too and softer than the SQN style and even at times made us think it was a younger Grenache. Impressive 941 person found this helpful Comment -

December 16, 2021 - Decanted a half hour before dinner. Interesting nose of horse sweat or more game meat and leather. Palate was a beast, not unbalanced, but waves of fruit and fennel and alcohol. After 2 hours it shut down. I can definitely see the resemblance to the few bottles of Next of Kyn and SQN I’ve drank but this seemed a little rougher around the edges. Maybe I caught it in an awkward phase.
