+2 hour decant(little cloudy sediment). An amazing dark ruby red color. On the nose: Intense notes of dark cherry and stewed plums, menthol, little smoked meat, nutmeg, and licorice. Taste: velvety, polished mouthcoating wine with blackberry/dark cherry, crushed stone, toasted wood, cloves, and a long brambly-peppery-licorice finish. YUM!

2017 Vintage. 15.9% ABV. Only other SQN on the massive wine list at Sardine Factory was Stock so no problem opening this one. Massive kirsch nose and fruit with a two minute finish. Amazing Grenache with a bit of Syrah and a hint of Viognier. Loved it. Could use more cellaring but this was our first of the coveted wooden box.
