Lot #645. Sine Qua Non Syrah Papa 2003

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 99 JL.
"Papa wants to know, 'Who's your daddy now?' The only answer possible is, 'You are!' Intense layers of fat, ripe, juicy dark berries, smoke, espresso bean, blueberry, truffles and spice, what's not to like? With so much weight, it's amazing to experience equal amounts of finesse and precision. The mouth feel combines hedonism with polish. The label like all of Manfred Krankl's is a work of art dedicated to his father. The chocolate covered blue and black fruit finish remains on your palate for close to sixty seconds! This is drinking at perfection today. The only reason this does not hit triple digits is, as hard as it is to believe, Inaugural and a few other vintages of Sine Qua Non are even better!" Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, Aug 2011
Provenance: The Tower Cellar
Notes: 2 nicked, 6 very lightly scuffed, 1 scuffed labels.
