Not subtle and floral. But no vanilla/cream/oak either and just 13% alcohol (low for a New World Viognier). Golden green, opening up with tropical fruits, showing a round but not greasy texture leading to a moderately long finish of apricot, lichi, gravel, lime, apple and honey with a hint of bitterness being felt throughout. Nice, but the "potpourri" of flavors fails to integrate a bit.

This is in relation to the review I posted on May 5 - It's been a full week and we finished the remaining half of the bottle tonight, and it was an incredible difference, it really opened up, and was much better, something to be said for releasing wines too early??
