與Screaming Eagle, Colgin, Harlan Estate並駕齊驅
只要說到美國膜拜酒,Sine Qua Non 絕對是與Screaming Eagle、Harlan平起平坐的超級酒莊,凡喝過的人都讚嘆!但在許多酒迷的心中,地位甚至略勝一籌,因為它不僅僅是膜拜酒,更被視為無價的藝術收藏品,每年獨一無二的酒標,早被無數藏家爭相收集、窖藏,意義非凡!
Robert Parker讚嘆不已,將其列入 ”The World's Greatest Wine Estates”(世界偉大酒莊)一書。
在1994那一年,Sine Qua Non酒莊創造奇蹟,生產的100箱葡萄酒一上市就銷售一空,權威酒評Robert Parker喝過後,頓時驚為天人,馬上給了95高分,原本默默無名的小酒莊從此一飛衝天,成為膜拜酒中的極品!更破天荒創下紀錄,拿下超過22次RP滿分紀錄,成為蘇富比與佳士得國際拍賣會上的夢幻逸品!
RP:98 Drink Date:2006 - 2021
There are 860 cases of the 2003 Papa, a blend of 97% Syrah, 2% Mourvedre, and 1% Grenache sourced from six different vineyards. An old black and white photograph of Manfred Krankl’s father holding a baby with a head the size of a large watermelon (presumably Manfred) serves as the label for this wine, which has just about everything one could want in a great Syrah. It exhibits extraordinary power and richness along with large quantities of sexy, seductive cassis, black cherries, and a chocolaty undertone. Unctuously textured, rich, and full, it will provide amazing drinking over the next 10-15 years.
