Viognier is tough to retain the acidity, and in a hot year, this is exacerbated. This smells like peach yogurt, both on the nose and on the palate. It may have benefited from not going full malolactic fermentation to retain more brightness.
The lack of acidity makes the wine feel higher in alcohol than it is at 13.5%.

I had this a few months ago and forgot to make a note. Intense reductive nose, apricot, white flowers, fresh pears and honey. Dry slightly rich orchard fruit flavours and a long dry viscous finish.

梨和桃子的甜美果味,点缀香草和一点槐花蜂蜜,并在后期演化出更多姜汁和植物性的气息。虽然欠缺一些复杂度和变化,但是状态平稳、口感圆润而不油腻,持续力很好。回味后段有少许苦感。
