July 19, 2014 - Probably past its peak. Soapy palate and harsh alcohol are the prominent flavours. Ok as a food wine but definately not to drunk without accompaniments.
Drink up quickly!
May 17, 2013 - A first rate Aussie Viognier. Creamy with white flowers, honey, bananas, mangos, and tropical flavors. Some mid-palate alcohol burn is the only thing costing this wine a much better score. Banana cream pie finish.

September 25, 2011 - Rich and opulent as before. Perhaps Better before. Maybe lost a little freshness. Still lovely though.
June 18, 2011 - a bit dissapointed. been a huge fan of previous vintages.
January 8, 2011 - It's ok....but I prefer my condrieu...a little too much honey and peaches and not enough of the minerality
July 13, 2010 - YES. Really good, I am impressed Viognier is often bland to non-descript. This is a stunner, amazing floral tastes and a creaminess in the mouth. Really above average.
February 16, 2010 - wonderful. Rich, opulent. Dried apricots, good acidity, some nuts (almonds?).
May 20, 2009 - loved this wine. stonefruit and citrus but with an ethereal, smooth, and rounded mouthfeel and finish. wow.
May 9, 2009 - Light straw yellow. Classic viognier. Sweet apricot and floral aromas. Slight oaking with a hint of ginger. Rich and concentrated. Good acidity and strong alcohol. Opulent white stone fruits and a slight hint of cloves on the long finish. Excellent.
