A decent Viognier, with pineapple, flowers, fruit loops on the nose and palate, but not sweet. Really nice long finish - like 45 seconds. This is probably just past it's peak, but I'm not complaining - terrific QPR at less than $9 from Last Bottle.

It has that mouth-filling richness and sensuality that typifies a viognier in my opinion (sorry Chardonnay). Strong unripe pineapple and jasmine notes, good acidity. I want to sip it under a palm tree in a hammock on a warm Kauaii beach.... good thing theres a couple bottles left....

Nice pleasant softness. A touch of pineapple. Bouquet quite flowery, faded a bit over time as did the slight sharpness at the open. Worked well with our Indian lunch though I've had better examples from Cali.

Sunday with Isaac (my apartment): Bright nose of banana peel, mangos and light honey. The flavor profile is just filled with banana-runt candy - eerie resemblance. After the bottle was opened, the heat blew off and an attractive light smokiness grew.

On the nose I get tropical fruit and a banana peel scent with some sweetness. I was hoping for some toasty oak aromas or flavors but I was disappointed. Don Pascual Viognier was my favorite style and it isn't available anywhere. This is light. There is a good acid grip to the wine but the overall flavor doesn't offer much. A light tropical(pineapple) flavor but overall a pass.

Belle robe limpide, nez expressif et fin. Bouche ample et grasse.
Aucun signe de vieillissement. Très agréable.

Raised my previous tasting by one. It is a typical viognier to me. More of a fruit loops aroma this time around. OK.

superb floral herbal aroma, buttery, oily, silky, but bitter on taste, not very rich. €9
