Four years ago I said "lowish acid so not a not long-holder" about bottle No. 1 of 2 and immediately forgot I owned bottle No. 2 because I wished I didn't own bottle No. 2 (it wasn't cheap). I tripped over it last weekend and opened it last night thinking we'd most likely taste it and dump it but no, in fact it was splendid. Bright but mature flavors unrecognizable as viognier based on New World expectations for same, with orange blossom on the nose and preserved lemon and caramel on the palate, all finishing dryer than you think it will. Provided one of those rare, stratospheric wine-food matches for a curried cauliflower and apple soup. Now I wish I owned more.
