Tasting Notes

Vinous 96

The 2004 Syrah Poker Face remains deep, inky and powerful, even at eleven years of age. A host of black cherry, chocolate, licorice and smoke meld together in this dark, voluptuous Syrah. As good as the 2004 is, it’s also quite clear just how far Sine Qua Non has come since the Poker Face was made. The blend is 96% Syrah, with drops of Mourvèdre and Viognier. Vineyard sources are 33% Eleven Confessions, 27% White Hawk, 22% Alban, 16% Bien Nacido and 3% Alta Mesa. [Antonio Galloni, 01/08/2015]

This is the famous 2004 Syrah of course. An opaque ruby/purple colour. It has a billowing bouquet of blackberry, menthol, cassis and oodles of vanillary new oak. The alcohol is quite noticeable. The palate has a sensuous, velvety texture fortunately with requisite acidity to balance it all up. An immense structure ” you can really feel the weight of this in your mouth but leading to an almost floral, feminine cassis-tinged finish with beguiling purity. You know you should not like this…but you cannot help it! Drink 2009-2025. Tasted October 2007. [10/01/2007]
