Since our previous bottle, this one has moved more towards a traditional viognier profile on the palate, with a bit less of the lemon and crisp acidity and much more of the "petrol funk".
I realize viogniers are a minefield when it comes to aging, but if I had another bottle of this, I'd let it go for another year or two just to see what happens.

In the glass, clear pale gold. On the nose, loads of honeysuckle, very fragrant. On the palate, equal parts honeysuckle, smoky oak, and lemon, with bracing acidity and crispness. Not heavy on the palate in the same way that an RRV chard can be, but otherwise could almost pass for one.

Clean fruit but Not much acidity. Consumed over 2 days with similar impressions.

This is a very nice wine for the price ( 60 in stores and we had it for 135 at a restaurant)
For the person that said it was overly oaked my comment would be that you did not have this wine as it is not oaked...

A little more oak and this would be undrinkable. As it is, it's tolerable though not at this price point.
