Fourth of the blind red wines. Theme was Cabernet Sauvignon or Bordeaux Blend from Oakville, Stags Leap District or generic Napa Valley with professional reviews of 95+.
Dark and deep ruby red. Dark nose with some feminine characteristics, blackberries, truffles and sweet spices. Medium tannins (6.5/10) with a full body. Great acidity and well rounded palate with layers of dark chocolate, black cherries, pencil shavings and cassis. Long and lingering finish. A real treat and would love to see this in a few years. Drink till 2038. (95+)

Schrader vs Sine Qua Non battle Royale tonight!
1.5 hour decant (lots of fine/chunky sediment). An impressive inky ruby red color. On the nose: semi muted nose of black fruit, floral, slight mint, touch of meat, and vanilla Blueberry at the end. Taste: NICE! A smooth, layered, rich medium plus body wine with ripe cherry, spice, plum, minerals, crushed rocks, and a long cinnamon chocolate finish. YUM! Let's see how the SQN does..

At 14.4 m% alcohol this wine is nicely balanced with incredible fruit, structure and length. Has a long life ahead for sure. Very well done

Apr 25th, 2020I thought this wine was spectacular. No decant and it was a little cold, but it was amazing. Love that you can see @Daniel Taub in the reflection.
