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. — 15 days ago
