Sine Qua Non, Dangerous Birds, Grenache 2007 Cider At 30+ years the risk100 points James Suckling Full and beautiful with sliced plums and berries. Super velvety tannins. Soft too. Tight and in reserve. Phenomenal depth of fruit. This is so deep. I love it. Just a baby. A wine you really have to get to know. You have to feel it. Reminds me of the 1989 Rayas. The evolution will be amazing for decades to come.(10 2011)
