Sine Qua Non Syrah 2004
Ode to E
(2 lightly scuffed labels)
2 bottles

"Boasting insane notes of creme de cassis, barbecued meats, licorice, exotic spices and singed cedar, this beauty flows onto the palate with a full-bodied, seamless, pure and incredibly layered profile that carries massive fruit and concentration, yet never seems heavy, overdone or puts a foot wrong. It's the purity of fruit, as well as the overall seamlessness that puts this right up near top of the heap. Drinking perfectly now, it will continue to evolve gracefully for another decade or more. It's incredible juice and I wish every wine lover could have a sip (or a big glass) of it." (99pts Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate #213, June 2014)
