Sine Qua Non, Boots, Pasties, Scanty Panties and Ten Gallon Hat 2003 (375ml)
98 points Int'l Wine Cellar
Deep golden bronze color. Bottomless aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, honey and toffee. Incredibly viscous and high-toned in the mouth, with superb acids to frame the orange peel and honey flavors. A distinctly saline character adds complexity. This has extraordinary TBA-weight thickness and concentration and an exhilarating sugar/acid spine. This goes on and on on the aftertaste. Wow! (10/2006)
96 points Wine Advocate
The 2003 Boots, Pasties, Scanty Panties and a Ten Gallon Hat is 100% Roussanne from the Alban Vineyard that has been botrytised. Its gold color is accompanied by huge notes of orange marmalade and honeysuckle, superb texture, purity and richness, and remarkable acidity providing freshness as well as definition. The residual sugar is a whopping 370 grams per liter and the total acidity is 13.6 grams per liter ... astonishing statistics. (RP) (8/2006)
