SQN; light but powerful, amazing depth. Still young but drinking beautifully

Needed a longer decant but wonderful. Dad was skeptical “Grenache - what’s that?”. You have had it before dad, it’s good. Skeptical/irritated look. Ok, very little. Converted. Back three times for “just a little/ah might as well/yeah finish it off”. Kept it at his end of the table.

Terrific - avoids that 'who poured whiskey in my wine' edge that Garnacha usually has. On the table with mostly European wines - it held its own with a Euro-centric group.

If I had the words I would write them. Lets just say it was like the time I found my Dads box of Playboys for the first time.
