Medium pale lemon. Pronounced intensity of stone fruit and tropical fruit and some hint of vanilla. Dry, high acidity, high alcohol and full body. Pronounced flavour intensity. Outstanding wine with fantastic aromas of stone fruit and tropical fruit. Perfectly balanced between fruit concentration, acidity and alcohol. The wine has a lot of concentration, intensity and complexity. The finish is long and the wine is a perfect example of an outstanding wine from Viognier grape.

By the glass from a freshly opened bottle at Willi’s Wine Bar , Paris . Round, rich, exotic touches ripe mango and melon , less focused and more a rich round much of a fruity edge . Good 89

Brass yellow. Peach with alcohol. Ripe mango. Rich on the palate, some more baked plum and more peach. Some spices ala coriander seed. Finishes on alcohol rather than acid. Best quite chilled. Tried to match it with food that complemented, chanterelle gnocchi day one, and white pizza day three. This reminds me in the broader sense more of an begian trappist beer than another wine.

Aromatic nose with pure, ripe peach together with pear, pineapple, honeysuckle, beeswax and touches of grated ginger and nutmeg. Weighty and delicious on the palate with a some grip and a long, toasty peach finish. High alcohol but you'd barely know it. Personally don't see a reason to cellar this for longer but may result in something interesting!
WSET notes:
Medium lemon.
Pronounced on the nose with honeysuckle, ripe peach, pear, pineapple, beeswax, orange zest, nutmeg, ginger. Developing.
Pronounced and dry on the palate with a touch of toast coming through. Full body, high alcohol, medium minus acidity, long finish.
Can drink now but has potential for aging.

Peach, honey, some minerals. Previous years had a bigger taste explosion, but still very nice wine. Perhaps wait a few years for the next one to drink.
