Viognier-like nose is floral, tropical, and sweetly fruity. One of the best noses I have smelled on a white, so intense and complex.
Attack is a total surprise - bone-dry acidity and massive minerality, combined with very light, almost ephemeral body/texture. Extremely mineral, especially on the finish. Like licking a stone. A wonderful sensory experience.

Drank this wine before and gave it a 91--tonight an 89. I suspect the food choice was not as good (wish I had made notes of what I ate with the wine both times; maybe that can be a resolution for the new year.)

I really enjoyed this wine, as did my wife. I purchased a second bottle after drinking, and if it drinks the same I may return to purchase in quantity.
