1997 Sine Qua Non Imposter McCoy Syrah - 96 Pts!
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 Imposter 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. RP
