Tasting Notes
Opens with waves of blackberry liqueur, crème de cassis, blueberry compote, and black plum, lifted by notes of violet, lavender, licorice, and dark chocolate. As it evolves in the glass, deeper layers appear: smoked meat, graphite, roasted herbs, pepper spice, and a seductive touch of incense
Pairings
Pairs best with rich, flavourful dishes that can stand up to its immense concentration and dark, velvety profile. Ideal matches include slow-braised beef short ribs, wagyu ribeye, smoked brisket, lamb shank, or charcoal-grilled venison. The wine’s deep black-fruit core and spicy, smoky notes also complement dishes like cocoa-rubbed lamb, pepper-crusted steak, barbecue with a savoury glaze, or roasted duck with a dark berry reduction
Decant
For 4 to 6 hours. SQN wines are young for their lifespan, extremely powerful, and very resistant to oxidation. They actually open up slowly and improve with long air exposure, they don’t fade after 4–6 hours, they get better
