Sine Qua Non extended barrel age tasting.

Together with the Stockholm syndrome this was my WOTN.

All wines performed beautifully. It showed a consistent style throughout the line up with only nuanced differences.

The EBA cuvee's get an extended time in barrel. Typically 12 months extra if I'm correct. We selected bottles that had a bit of age / cellar time from our collections since these need time to show their full development potential.

Massively structured and a plethora of spices can be found in all cuvee's. High alcohol but all well integrated and balanced. Worth seeking out if you like the style. — a month ago

Beautiful balance, too many people loved it so can’t give it proper notes. Outstanding though. — a month ago

This is one of the sexiest thing you can ever taste in your glass.
So fresh and young. The alcohol and the concentration are super integrated, making it so drinkable and extremely pleasant. Would love@to try this in 20+ year from now. — 8 months ago

Oh my god... This was fantastic!!! On the nose it is thick and heady. Darkest red wine I might have ever had. Rich looking in the glass. You taste it multiple times. In comes in waves. Spices mixed so well with fleshy fruit and it lingers and resonates. Smokey and sooo deep. An utterly spectacular wine. — a month ago

2012. Last bottle fireworks for Independence holiday in Gualala, CA. View matched the wine. Also a Non-vintage Rubis Rose champagne from Vilmart & Cie! Yum! Thankfully a quiet celbration as our Standard Poodle Hendrix is noise sensitive. — 6 months ago

A very energetic mouthful, somehow ripe and pulling it own weight (with acidic towing equipment) so you don’t feel the weight but you know it has a body, like me in an empire waist dress. Zingy ripe raspberry makes friends with preserved lemon while white toast and white pepper duel it out as to who is the loudest (but not the whitest we know the toast wins that). Really a delicious steal from Tasmania. — 9 months ago
