Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 5, 2009 - Pleasantly surprised with how well the SQN Atlantis Syrah was drinking. I have had this wine once before about a year ago and it was not drinking up to its praise at all. Other Cellar Tracker notes suggest this wine is over-rated. I agree somewhat (it doesn't merit triple digits), but it is still a fantastic wine and is starting to come around. Flavors of blackberry, plum, mineral, anise and gun metal. Similar flavor profile as the 2003 Reva drank prior to the Atlantis, however, the Atlantis was slightly less concentrated yet slightly better balanced than the Reva. I would put the Reva just ever so slightly ahead of the Atlantis. I was thinking of selling this wine, but no longer. Hold for two more years before drinking.
