2007 vintage. Opened around 50 degrees. Decanted and kept in the 58-62 degree range with the decanter placed atop an (mostly) ice bath. Tasted after 25 minutes and 4.5 hours. Heavy body. Just enough acidity to slowly propel this effort along all palate phases. Total showstopper. Overlook/dismiss/avoid the SQN whites at your own peril. 2.15.24. — 2 months ago

Tasting the 2020 Soul of a Lion at Daou in Paso. And coincidentally, we were there on their last weekend as an independent winemaker. A nice goodbye before the corporates take over. Dark and concentrated. Beautiful cab. — 6 months ago

Opened about two hours prior to service and allowed to breath. Two bottles were opened tonight from the same cellar and both corks showed some saturation but only through the first 1/3. No formal notes. A blend of Gaja’s 14 single-vineyards, 1997 “Barbaresco” pours a fairly youthful looking deep garnet color with moderate signs of sediment. The nose was initially shy but opened with air and revealed beautiful aromas of red and black fruits, tar, red and pink flowers, leather, dried earth and minerals. The structure is still going strong at 26 years young and I would still place the the tannins in the medium+ category. The finish is long and full of savory minerals. While I wouldn’t hesitate to pull the cork at this stage, these will be a joy to drink through 2037. This was a sublime paring with agnolotti stuffed with sweet corn, porcini and taleggio and a lot more of a classic representation of Barbaresco than I was expecting. Bravo! — 9 months ago
