Classic Cote Rotie. Still plenty of life and fruit in this, but some lovely tertiary components coming through. Decanted 3 hours before serving as an accompaniment to some grilled steaks - match made in heaven!

Superb, none of the flabby characteristics you can sometimes get with viognier. Taut and lean to begin with but great depth and complexity. Superb, wish budget had stretched to more than one bottle!

Opened as part of a meal at Brat in Shoreditch, was drinkable but underwhelming. Lacked intensity on the nose and the palate and faded into the background rather than being a focus of enjoyment/discussion.
