Community Tasting Notes 5

  November 21, 2022 - Colour: Light gold / silver
  Nose: Subdued, apricot and ginger
  Palette: Slightly unripe apricot, a bit green with caramel and bitter lemon and lime to finish.
  
  Not one of the best Virgilius I've had.
  It' has a hollow middle palette and does not have the richness and integrated ripe flavours of other vintages I've enjoyed.
  The finishing bitterness also detracts from it.

  August 19, 2020 - Pale yellow for a nose marked by notes of peach in syrup with a mineral touch. Creamy texture nuanced by a sharp acidity that, unfortunately, ends quickly on the mid-palate. Good persistence, tasty and long. Dry and representative wine of the varietal. Undoubted reminiscences to Coindreu so this should age well, at least five years more.
  
  Amarillo pálido para una nariz marcada por las notas a melocotón en almíbar con un toque mineral.
  Textura cremosa matizada por una afilada acidez que, desgraciadamente, finaliza en seguida en el paladar medio. Buena persistencia, sabrosa y larga. Vino seco y representativo de la varietal.
  Reminiscencias indudables a Coindreu con lo cual debería envejecer bien, al menos cinco años.

  February 23, 2020 - Surprisingly the largest Viognier growers in the world. Vineyard from the 1970s. Medium golden in the glass. Lots of oak dominance on the nose, masking the beautiful aromatics by which the grape is famous for. Medium-bodied, loads of warmth. Acidity is smothered somewhere beneath the oak and the alcohol, which is only 12.5%, but still feels disjointed. Loads of tropical character. Medium finish. Not something I'd come back to.

  November 29, 2017 - Tasting at Yalumba (Angaston): (french oak) creamy white fruit, hint buttery, savoury nose, ripe orange. Apricot freshness, nutty almonds, peach, lifted acidity, creamy, substantially juicy!

  October 9, 2017 - Forcément, l abricot et la pêche, le gras du viognier, tout donne une envie d'un peu plus d'ambition avec un joli bois neuf à la condrieu (mais il me semble qu il n y a aucun bois neuf ici... ), on se régale mais on a le sentiment que le domaine aurait pu faire encore mieux
