  you can say it isn't going to get better, but it's actually MUCH better than the last time I tried this a few years back.....smooth and mellow - and much of the heavy disjointedness gone. It's still thick and oily, but less than previously and the HEAVY viognier taste has mellowed greatly - I used to think this was a big wine that just wasn't my style, but now I love it all on its own

  Time to drink up on this one - it's not going to get any better; Give it 30 minutes after opening; Caramel; Rich but clean; Good depth; Full, smooth mouthfeel

  Unctious, almost oily mouth feel ... initially a lemon-drop quality, but as it warmed/opened up there was a rich honey/truffle flavor

  Nice golden color. Lemon zest and a trace of pineapple on the nose, with some minerality (like wet cement or limestone). Nice acidity, good mouthfeel. Lemon in the predominant component with some bitter almond at the outset, some honey on the midpalate and glycerin on the finish. Big, bold white wine. Went will with gruyere cheese.

  Paired with Richard Reddington's Scallops recipe. Perfect pairing. Very full bodied and a bit hot. Good acidity with orange peel notes. Great food wine. Not to be sipped un-paired with food
