So sometimes,...not often, but sometimes, a friend will say "you gotta try this" and open a great Non-SQN bottle of wine for me, and I'll be wowed. And maybe,...and I even hesitate to say this out loud,...maybe I'll be so wowed that I might even start to doubt that Manfred Krankl is the greatest winemaker on the planet. But then something like this evening happens, and all is right with the world again, because this wine simply checks all the boxes. The 2006 "A Shot In The Dark" Syrah is perfection in a glass. Let's begin with the nose, and we could stop there too as far as I'm concerned. I could swirl this glass all night. Rich and extracted, flamboyant and intoxicating, intense and layered notes of melted chocolate, ripe cherries, pepper and cinnamon. On the palate, pure silk. A blackberry liqueur milkshake, cocoa and Asian spices. Simply massive, yet stunningly elegant. Perfect balance. I'm running out of superlatives. Suffice it to say that it doesn't get any better than this for me. A finish that leaves the stopwatch running. 100 points. More if I could. And sorry for pontificating, but when I hear people say "I just don't get SQN", try this wine blind and get back to me.

My original post didn’t seem to register, so my apologies if this ends up being a duplicate post. Awesome wine on a tough day for reasons some folks understand.
