Color: Deep golden yellow. Nose: Sweet pastry with candied fruits. A hint of orange liqueur. Smells quite voluptuous and a bit alcoholic. Mouth: A hint of cold bonfire, too. Not on par with the 2007. Alcoholic and quite simple. Too heavy and clumsy. Sticky like a cough syrup. I'm not a fan at all.

Viognierdominated on the nose. Oak and vanilla, peach, hints of spiciness. Floral tones. Taste is pears, apple peach and a strong acidity arriving after a few seconds. The end is bitter and sweet with the floral hints coming also on the tounge. Had it about five years ago and expected more.

The nose showed a vanilla sheen with spicy floral tones and hint of undergrowth. On the palate, it was smooth and weighty with spicy oak, apple, pear and a wash of brisk acidity that showed up late in the game. The mouth watered throughout the finish with notes of butterscotch on the palate, leaving an almost oily texture behind.

On the nose some rotten fruit, it actually smells a bit like garbage. On the palate an alcohol spike and some awkwardness.
