Lot #1032. Sine Qua Non Syrah Ratsel 16 2016

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 100 JD.
"The 2016 Syrah Rastel 16 showed incredibly from barrel and it certainly doesn’t disappoint from bottle. Pure perfection in Syrah, this beauty boasts a deep purple hue as well as a stacked bouquet of ripe blackberries, cured meats, scorched earth, white pepper, white chocolate, and bacon fat. Deep, full-bodied, and massively concentrated, it builds incrementally on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins, perfect balance, and a finish that won’t quit. I struggle to think of another wine that delivers this level of intensity without any sensation of weight or heaviness." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, 10/31/2019
Provenance: The Archipel Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $550
