The virtually perfect 2001 On Your Toes is 100% Syrah (aged 39 months in new oak) from three vineyard sources White Hawk Alban and Stolpman. I have already consumed two bottles of this extraordinary wine and amazingly the oak is less noticeable than in SQN’s Syrahs bottled after a normal elevage of 24-26 months in wood. It boasts a gorgeous blue/purple color to the rim as well as exceptional aromas of pure creme de cassis and blackberries intertwined with acacia flowers licorice and delicate subtle toast notes. In the mouth it is pure silk. An opulent voluptuously-textured offering that cascades over the palate with no hard edges and nothing out of place it is a brilliant tour de force in winemaking that can be drunk now or cellared for more than a decade.
