米国でも超入手困難で知られるシン・クア・ノンが少量ながら日本に代理店経由で入荷しています。値段は高いですが米国でもオークション以外ではほとんど買えないのでもっと高くなる可能性が高いです。名前はAtlantis。Fe2O3-1a～cがシラー，Fe2O3-2a～cがグルナッシュです。

シラーはWAで95-97。パーカーさんのコメントは
An inky/blue/black/purple hue is followed by sweet blackberry, charcoal, and chocolate aromas, graphite and blackberry flavors, full body, decent acidity, and a stunningly long finish. This terrific effort should turn out to be one of the most French-styled Syrahs Krankl has yet produced. It reveals the great intensity and purity of California fruit superimposed on a European structure and sense of harmony

The aromas reveal a distinctive chocolatey note along with the tell-tale blackberry, cassis, kirsch, licorice, camphor, and floral characteristics. Deep, complex, and full-bodied with a roasted meat-like flavor, despite its size and richness, the overall impression is one of elegance and phenomenal definition.


さらに次のようにオーナーのManfred Kranklを褒め称えています。
To reiterate, it is a challenge to analyze these wines. I know they are distinctive, and I think I am beginning to understand why they are so much greater than just about every other Syrah or Grenache-based wine in California. In short, it is talent and incredibly meticulous hard work. No one works as hard or is as maniacal about a vineyard’s viticulture and winemaking as Manfred Krankl. Take that, add in exceptional talent, humility, top-notch vineyards, and I believe I understand the fundamentals of why these wines are so special.


悪いこと言わないのでこれだけは買っておいた方がいいと思います。
