N: smells like butterscotch from the dirt that's been melted by the sun for 3 days. Smells much worse than it is. Actual taste is underwhelming. This is a wine I could drink with steak. Not as dry as I thought. Dryness is almost a good thing. 8.0
J: very smooth. Relatively light but rich. Tiny bit dry but pleasant. 9.0
