Sine Qua Non, Atlantis Fe203-3e, Roussanne 2005 (375ml)
Description
97 points Wine Advocate
Incredible aromas of honeysuckle and marmalade are classic late-harvest Roussanne, and the wine’s sweet style is beautifully balanced by terrific acidity (12.5 grams of acid per liter). (RP) (6/2008)
94 points Vinous
Hugely aromatic, gaudy bouquet of peach, apricot, blond tobacco, mint and dried flowers. Spicy pit fruit flavors stain the palate, gaining depth and sweetness with air. Finishes with a degree of lift and cut that I would never expect from such a rich, sugar-laden wine. These grapes came from the Alban vineyard. (JR) (11/2008)
