Butt label is actually the Grenache, front view is the Syrah
1st off, Tarantella is just mind boggling! 1999 and still going strong. One of my all time favorite SQN whites. Honeyed perfume of mangos and tangerines. Still vibrant. Still fresh! Manfred's whites are beyond comparison. A league of his own. DB's aromatics are off the charts. Blackberry fruits, camphor and lavender (OK @Bill Bender get ready for @Dag Zapatero flower hatred). 10's across the board in both mouthfeel and texture. Massive yet elegant and light on it's feet. A Krankl hallmark. Lingering finish. 3 For 3 on Roman's Big 3 scale: Nose, Texture and Finish. Finally, Saxum. I didn't give this much of a decant as this was a late request from a friend. I'll not rate it now. Check in later in the evening. — 10 years ago


2004 Sine Qua Non Poker Face Syrah - 100 points what else can I say!!! #vegas #SQN #sqntasting — 10 years ago
Finally got the nerve to open up this magic box. #SQN #petitesyrah #2012 #bookinthebox — 11 years ago


This is phenomenal! Concentrated and juicy, powerful yet restrained. I absolutely loved it. A true contemplation wine. This wine is to open by itself with your favorite book. On the league of Yquem. Not a wine: this is a lifetime experience. #californiawines #sinequanon #sqn #manfredkrankl — 11 years ago
Last year the 2010 #Authenticity was out WOTY and The 2011 is an impressive following!! Syrah/Mourvèdre and a touch of Viognier. — 12 years ago
2013 SQN "...And An Eight Track" Rose'. I look at these as Manfred's in your face, over the top, hedonistic homage to life wines. Throw all of your preconceived notions of what a Rose' should be right out the window. These wines celebrate life. No review today. Happy Memorial Day. Don't think. Enjoy. Recently, I've had a little back and forth with a non-SQN believer who shall remain nameless. You know the type. "I just don't get SQN" (And man, do I ever hate that phrase. Surprisingly, don't think I've ever heard "I just don't get DRC"). Anyway, I let it upset me more than it should have. To each his own. Drink what you love, but for my money, give me Mr Krankl anytime! — 9 years ago




This was the show stopper feminine Syrah and as @Roman Sukley and @Bill Bender can appreciate she is well endowed. #sqn #letsgomets — 11 years ago
Start on spicies, sweet and warm. The nose is quite intriguing and intense, like a splendid old vine Shiraz from barossa or Henschke HOG. This is solid, powerful and perfectly well executed. The mouthfeel is stunning, figs, Werter's toffee and beautiful confit red fruitZ imagine a Christmas pudding with a sticking acidity. Loved every moment of it. #sqn #sinequanon #california #manfredkrankl — 11 years ago

heady aromas of mango, peach, apricot, orange blossom, honey, chamomile & marzipan translate into rich & viscous flavors up front that evolve into a more satiny textured finish w grapefruit, acidity & salinity...THA JUICE IS TITS!
