  July 2, 2023 - Better than the first one. Apricot and stone fruit and white tropical flowers with a little less of the bitterness that I disliked in the first. Not a great first bottle of the evening but an okay second.

  January 20, 2023 - Apricot, stone fruit, and white flowers on nose and palate. Finish has a bit of an apricot pit bitterness that I don't love. A fair value at the paltry $6 I paid but not the bargain I was hoping for
  
  Updated with Cam's notes so I can find them: The nose is multi-faceted and complex with jasmine perfume and pretty orchard fruit notes lifted on spicy, honeyed mineral aromas. In contrast to the brisk bouquet, the palate is a complete head-fake; expecting bright acidity one instead finds the classic, chewy viscousness of Viognier. Smooth as a babies butt, the mid-palate serves up creamy saline on entry then turns fleshy with honeyed peach and pear fruit riding a chalky beam of minerality into the citrus-kissed sunset. Bone-dry and beautiful. Serve at cellar temp (55 degrees) with spicy Asian fare for pairing perfection. here). But knit-together they have with N.97 showing beautifully now, boisterous with perfumed ginger, blossom and rock. Fleshy pear on the midpalate with lots of cardamom and camphor blasting on the finish. This is an intense wine with huge complexity.

  October 26, 2022 - Drank with food, and a nice chianti, also de Negoce. This wine is still just OK, lacking acidity, and anything of interest.
