2010 SQN Stockholm Syndrome Grenache. So I wasn’t planning on posting any notes from my New Year’s Eve selections because sometimes you just need to enjoy the evening, but this wine is just so unbelievably phenomenal, I quite honestly just can’t stop thinking about it. I found myself just continually going back to this wine over the course of the evening. This supermodel immediately draws you in with her enticing nose of cassis, exotic spice, soy and purple flowers. Now that she has your full attention, she teases you with a rich and seamless palate of sweet blueberry pie, blackberry liqueur, liquid smoke, incense, licorice, black pepper and smokey duck sauce. Finally, she grabs you by the lapels and plants a seductive finishing kiss that just won’t quit. Im in love. I know I sound like a broken record, but I think this Krankl guy may just make it if he can keep this up.

Young, but drinking well. Typical SQN nose and flavor profile. I enjoy Manfred’s Grenache wines even more than his Syrah-based wines. Will be hard to lay off my remaining bottles.

Jan 12th, 2018충분히 밀키하고 조화로웠음 내 첫 그르나쉬인데 강렬하고도 인상깊게 다가왔음 이 글을쓰는 도중에도 또 생각나는 맛
그나저나 요즘엔 영해도 참 먹기 좋게 나오는 거 같음
