April 20, 2024 - Deep dark luscious fruit, multiple layers of complexity in the background, firm but mollified sweet tannins, full bodied, smooth mouthfeel with a long long finish. Very pleasing wine. Appeared to have a lot left in the tank, both fruit and structure. Consumed over two nights and seemed best or improved the second day. Not Coravined, just recorked.

March 18, 2024 - Monochromatic, pruney, one-note. Decanted two hours, no improvement over course of an evening. Shame has evolved into food-only wine.

January 27, 2024 - Park90 / Grand Cru SQN Masterclass: 92% Syrah, 6% Grenache, 2% Viognier; 14% alcohol. Most old-world and palatable of the reds - at least I could decipher this to be a Syrah. Northern Rhone-like savoury bacon notes which I enjoyed, but why not buy a case of Levet instead (which would age better too)?

January 27, 2024 - 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.
Burnt rubber on the nose. Lean in style. Style is close to Northern Rhone. Elements are not in sync in the glass; not sure if the wine needs more time in the bottle or more time in the glass.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 27, 2023 - In a wonderful place. Not sure this gets any better so I plan to drink my last couple bottles soon. Had with a grilled porterhouse pork chop and it was fantastic together.
