Richer than the 2011 which I liked much more. Nose of lemon curd, some vanilla and toast, orange peel, acacia. Full bodied, like a Puilly-Fuissée. Just the maximum I can take. Medium complexity.

Very pretty nose that started out a little restrained but became more expressive with time in the glass. Complex notes of lemon, peach, and minerals on the nose. Excellent balance with a hint of tropical fruit, grapefruit, lemon, and minerals on the palate. Nice finish. Really lovely, unique wine that's more about subtlety and elegance than power.

Lovely bottle of wine. PnP. Luscious, creamy, stone fruit and minerals. Long finish. Has the acidity to last a few years, but wonderful now. Just a delicious wine on a beautiful summer evening.

On the other hand, the mouth is much more exuberant with a bright fruit on apricot and pear. The acidity balances a dense juice to give a whole that is as rich as it is supple. Beautiful floral finish that stretches in the most beautiful way.
It's excellent, far from what I usually drink in white, but I really enjoyed it.

Absolutely fantastic. The quintessential expression of Viognier, especially from such a strong vintage. Ripe, weightly, complex and delicious.

Quite discreet nose with a trace of vegetal.
