Extremely unusual. Needs air and not too much chill to really come out of its shell. Exotic nose of lychee, pear, cinnamon, not especially sweet. Palate also closer to Demi- sec than dessert wine but no less fine for that. Like a deconstructed and rebuilt version of Condrieu. Wish I had more. Score: 93. Relative to expectations: + but only because I really had no idea what to expect.

Intense gold and amber color. Extremely closed for 45 minutes w splash decant. Initally opened to reveal hints of apricot, marmalade and elderflowers-evolved over 30 minutes to smoke and pear with peach compote and intensifying acid. Deliciously structured with good minerality and acid- I am sure this could keep aging another 10-15 yrs. I never had to decant Viognier before :)

White wine Guigal Masterclass (Stockholm): Orange colour. Nose with concentrated aromas, oranges, spice, dried fruit. Off-dry/semi-sweet on the palate, very spicy, slight alcoholic bite, dried fruit, some orange, balancing acidity.

apricot, metallic, Anjou pear, and honey on the nose. On palate showing marmalade and a hint of bitterness.
