September 3, 2020 - Mealy, meaty and savoury. Some quinine, almond, and browning apple spread. Medium to full body. It’s toasty and savoury, but lean through to a saline finish. long and linear, there’s not much fat. Reminds me to drink more Viognier. It’s a lean and focussed Viognier, the oils are low but present and it’s more about savoury salt and white pepper tannins. Very impressive. Drink now to 5 years.

January 27, 2020 - fragrant nose of stone fruits and honey.... palette not as pronounced as nose and finish has hint of bitterness.... not so good

June 7, 2018 - I always find myself wanting to describe this as authoritative - it has that air of knowing that it is pure, correct viognier, with a bit an acrid grip from the oak - it's splendid.

October 20, 2017 - Quietly powerful, mineral, without the spice of a condrieu - very satisfying

May 4, 2017 - Similar notes to last time. Took a little while to open up yielding an impressive floral bouquet with stone fruit, peach and a touch of animale on the long finish. Interestingly our lunch guests thought this was a Reisling or Gewurtzaminer. 91-92 in its best drinking window now but can wait.
