  February 26, 2021 - Well you need some food with it. The strong acid wants to marry grilled, sweetish carrots as well as parboiled lemon zest in honey, tempered by chicken, Quorn or tofu, jasmine rice and a mild cardanom yoghurt.
  
  Perhaps the -15 was a little better, bur I like the oumpf and the challenge of the spicy finish.

  December 5, 2020 - Enviting aroma - ‘Chardonnayesque’ ripe stone fruit with white/yellow flowers and a distant sea shell base. None of which translating to the palette. Broad entry - holds well (naturally, because it’s supported by the 14.5% engine) then leading into pidthier lemon with a green meadow herbaceous finish. Paired with Oysters and Thanksgiving turkey etc - It was a satisfactory call.
  A reasonably balanced Viognier that was not too viscous or oily, but not particularly fruity either. Food functional sure, but kind of bulky. Interesting. Not bad. Wouldn’t repurchase.

  October 30, 2020 - Showing beautifully right now, be sure to let this warm up from super cold temps, it reveals the
  Warm tropical fruit, good balance and an easy finish. Paired well with assorted cheese and meats.
  This was a bit acidic a few years ago, it has mellowed nicely.
  Drink now thru 2022

  February 4, 2020 - PnP, chilled, but continued to open and round out for about 30 minutes. Slight floral aroma. Medium bodied wine with only faint touches of orange and apricot, but much more acidity than needed to balance. No where near as satisfying as the TNs from mid-18. Maybe we missed the drink window.

  December 10, 2019 - La note tient compte du prix.
  Nez ouvert, ananas dans son jus, paille humide.
  En bouche, fruits exotiques mures, ananas, goyave, l'acidité est (trop) faible, texture grasse, heureusement on ne percoit pas le taux élevé d'alcool.
  Beaucoup trop cher.
  À consommer la prochaine bouteille avec cuisine thailandaise, vietnamienne.
