Thursday, July 9, 2009 - decanted 4 hours. i think i've got a pretty good handle on this wine based on multiple tastings over a decent spread of time, and it's falls far short ofthe parker hype machine. granted, i'm an SQN fan, mailing list customer, personal friend of manfred, yet let's be honest...this wine is never going to shed it's tremendous tannin, oak, and alcohol. period. you can hold it in your cellar for as long as you can mistakenly justify, you can decant it 72 hours, you can drink it under a the frame of a pyramid. probably my least favorite syrah from the portfolio. have a nice day.
