Lajver

Incognito Kékfrankos 2022

9.2

@Delectable Wine - This wine is actually the Lajver Incognito Hungarian White Blaufrankish. Light silver/gold color. Aromas of stone fruits, red berries and. Flavors of white peaches, nectarines, cherries and unripe raspberries. (Very “Rose’-like” on the nose.) Medium finish with well balanced acidity. Medium-plus body, very clean and quite refreshing. Creamy texture and quite elegant. Totally interesting…. Right down to the unique blue bottle. — a day ago

Sine Qua Non

Dirt Vernacular Grenache Blend 2016

Roman Sukley

2016 Sine Qua Non "Dirt Vernacular" California Grenache. The blend is 78% Grenache, 11.5% Mourvedre, 7% Touriga Nacional and 3.5% Petite Sirah, dominated by estate fruit, but some 9% came from the Krankl's blocks at Bien Nacido Vineyard that are farmed to their specifications. 16% alcohol. So for me, it all started with “Incognito.” Greatest Grenache I’d ever tasted. Simply stunning and still one of my favorites. How do you top that one? Well then “The Inaugural” showed up. Phenomenal!Then it’s “Ode To E.” Y’all know I absolutely LOVE that wine! Oh but wait, here comes “Trouver L'Arène.” Exquisite! And just in case you missed them all, now there’s tonight’s selection. And I’m pleased to report that the streak continues. As I’ve mentioned previously several times, Grenache is quite possibly the most difficult and finicky grape. But what really sets SQN apart is the final blend. Simply stated, Manfred is a genius when it comes to blending. If you have one, feel free to pull the cork as this wine is absolutely open for business. About a 3 hour decant at cellar temperature, the nose is, as usual with SQN, mind blowing. Cherries, plums, pepper, teriyaki, kirsch and a bouquet of roses. Full-bodied, ultra-rich, multi-layered palate-staining ripe black fruit smorgasbord. Tremendous depth and purity. What a finish! The parade of excellence marches on! — 6 years ago

Just unpacked my bottles a couple days ago, not on the Allocation list so $250.00 each🤷🏼‍♂️, still not bad for a 💯 SQN

Joseph Barsky

Wow! Great to hear that it is in the same league as the Inaugural and Ode to E! Have yet to open a Trouver L’ Arene or Dirt Vernacular so thanks for the youngster notes!

Norman

Great to hear these can be tried. I wasn’t a fan of Grenache until I read your posts and tried a SQN. Just amazing.

A contribution from the raconteur @Shawn R and the label is a photo of him from his youthful confused stage. This was banging. I immediately recalled the SQN Incognito when I sat with this for a while. Very dark in the glass for a Grenache, subtle pepper, crimson cherry, kirsch. So sumptuous and voluptuous....and I loooove voluptuous. — 8 years ago
