  Floral and honeysuckle notes on the nose and palate. Crisp and clean finish. Very enjoyable.

  Not as good as a recent '08. Nose had a mild citrus character and lots of floral notes. Pleasant simple palate with low acidity and a short clipped finish that turned slightly bitter.

  Judging from others' notes, I think that this bottle was oxidized or stayed warm while it was being stored before I bought it. It did have distinct floral and perfumed elements which told me it had viognier, but it was entirely lacking in fruit, sweetness, and acidity. It was really more bitter than anything else. Tasted as if it was well past its drinking window; I'll just chalk it up to being stored improperly, though I'll never know for sure.
