Description

Sine Qua Non Syrah 1997
Impostor McCoy
2wisl, 2ssos
Bottle (5)

Wines from the private collection of The Grateful Palate's Dan Philips. All wines purchased on release and kept in perfect temperature and humidity-controlled storage.

"The funky artwork on the bottle emerges from Manfred Krankl's artistic side, but as the label says, "the truth is in the inside." I have already wolfed down two bottles of the 1997 Impostor McCoy (529 cases) with equally voracious friends. A thick, juicy, massive Syrah, it gushes copious quantities of licorice-infused blackberry fruit offering smoke, coffee, and meaty notes. The wine is mouth-filling, teeth-staining, and loaded. Its high alcohol (15.3%), glycerin level, and low acidity make it easy to drink, but I suspect it will age easily for 10-20+ years." (96 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #127, Feb. 2000)
