Sine Qua Non
Impostor McCoy Syrah
Central Coast, California, USA
This and the E-Raised were my first bottles of SQN. This is still going so strong. Zero alcohol on the nose or on the palate. Just gobs of delicious dark savory fruit, peppered roasted meat and finesse like a mother f'er! My last bottle so @Roman Sukley may have to share if I want to try again or maybe we can wake up a slumbering @Mark Christenson

May 9th, 2016Shared with one of my attorneys who passed the bar in '97 on his birthday. This has the most Northern Rhone nose of any SQN I've had--a lot of herbs and violet. Delicious rich dark fruits, balanced and strong, grilled meats with pepper. Holding up extremely well and will certainly be sound on its 20th birthday. More Manfred magic.

The SQN that made me a Manfred Krankl fan, still drinking great.
