Straw color. Citrus, peaches, apricots, pears, melons and honey with hints of floral and minerals in the nose. Juicy citrus fruit in the the flavor with floral notes. A concentrated, yet elegant wine, medium to full bodied, very nice mouthfeel, well balanced and a long lingering finish.

Aromatic bouquet of white flowers, apricot, tangerine, melon, lemon zest and hazelnut. Palate mirrors the nose. Ripe and creamy with a long finish. Nice balance. Served with scallops Provençal.

Better than last bottle after a splash double decant, had the classic white flower nose with similar palate to prior note; outstanding & ready to drink

Notes as before: Meyer lemon, lime blossoms, tropical fruit, ripe peach and honeysuckle notes. Full bodied and fruit-sweet, a tasty viognier. Will drink at the spot for maybe up to five years.

Pnp from the cellar. Light acidic nose of white peach and florals. Flavors of honeysuckle, white peach with lemon notes with the smallest aftertaste of acid. Bright golden yellow color with no titration present. Drinking beautifully at this point but I believe there is more life in the bottle.

Aromas of honeysuckle, peach, apple, lemon peel, lime and candied ginger. Palate mirrors the nose with a long creamy finish and a hint of nutmeg. Well balanced. A gorgeous Viognier. Served with flounder en papillote.

9th Annual Holiday Dinner and Cellar Raid (Naperville, IL): Part of wine dinner and cellar raid so did not take detailed notes. Stellar wine. Wasn't planning on opening this as I want to spend some time, but folks were looking for a white that was chilled and this fit the bill. Only had a small taste, but that was enough to see what this was packing.

Rich, spicy, creamy with good length; sweetness here, but i keeps the balance - just hints of something oxidized, this won't keep forever. #petanque#Hjorts

Honeysuckle, peach, pear, pineapple, lemon, lime and herbal notes. Long, soft, dry finish with balanced acidity. Very pretty wine. Served with seafood gumbo.

USA Syrah tasting in Vino and Friends. (By JK in Maastricht): The bouquet shows ripe yellow fruits, flowers and sweetness. On the palate mild and creamy. Soft acidity and some herbs and spices. Good length.

Same notes from 8/2018 apply. This hasn’t moved at all; so maybe can last a while. Sad this is my last bottle. CT window is off?
