2014 vintage. Last tasted 11.18.22 (9.3). This sample open for approx 18 hours and still packing a wallop. 16% with heavy body. Not my style but phenomenal. No rush to crush. 12.04.24.

2014 Vintage.Took to Osteria Al Mare in Monterey at the breakwater where it paired well with short ribs on polenta and mushroom truffle tagliatelle. Wine continued to get better as we took half the bottle back to the room to enjoy.

Okay, not understanding the 8.9 from the East German judge. This is SQN long barrel-aged grenache. Any questions?
