Lemon, honey crispness, florals on the nose. The floral notes especially come out after 30 minutes or so. Tastes of lemon curd, pear, honeysuckle. A nice juiciness makes this easy to quaff but also adds complexity. This is delightful.

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.

A Private Rhone Paulee in London: Slightly musky nose. Old shortbread palate. Funky. Not my style but others liked it.

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