May 20, 2022 - This bottle was past its prime. When chilled and initially tasted, you could briefly enjoy the beauty that was this wine. There was a hint of oxidation that became more and more pronounced. Sadly, we watered the azaleas with the remainder of the bottle, which was my last of this vintage.
In its prime, it was a beauty!!!
August 10, 2020 - In decline.
March 8, 2019 - Medium intensity of colour that is gold to Amber. A floral nose. Citrus fruit, lemon and perfume. High acidity. Pronounced alcohol. Full bodied. Long finish. This was layered, balanced and whilst ready, should improve. The nose was a clear step up over the 2016 (which I didn't like) albeit the palate was quite similar. Shared by ST
March 8, 2019 - Golden yellow, very floral, papaya, very interesting nose, loved the nose, the palate didn’t compare though, very dry & austere
91
January 23, 2019 - Struck out tonight - 3 flawed white wines. This, a 2008 Les Plantiers du Haut Brion Blanc and a 2009 Mont Redon CNDP Blanc.
January 22, 2019 - Typical Viognier, with aroma of very mature fruits and fatness supported by acidity. Good wine but not my style. 92 for its value; 90 for my taste.
January 12, 2018 - overly oxidized - drank like a Sherry
June 13, 2017 - I beaituful Viognier from Guigal, but, then, Guigal only makes lovely wines. It went beautifully with a dish of Rose Poached Fruit de Mer/Bruleed Peach/Creme Fraiche - prepared by Chef Cullen Kent of Cafe Society (Memphis). It was mature yet fresh and vibrant with lovely aromas, great mouth feel (a great balance of crushed stone and citrus) on the palate and a lingering finish. A very balanced and enjoyable wine.
January 30, 2017 - Big wine with immense saltyness. Very Special but marvelous. Drink or hold. viognier at ist best !!!!!
October 18, 2015 - Bu cette été, pas pris de note,
Grand condrieu, puissant, exotique(abricot confit, mangue)floral. Bouche d'une grande stature, bien grasse mais néanmoins, évite tout effet de lourdeur car une fine acidité et de beau amers maintien le tout. Vraiment excellent et il a très bien passé sur les caisses figue et fois gras. Il peut tenir la route 2-3 ans sans problème.
