  Mid gold to deep golden-yellow.
  Ripe fruit aromas of peach pip, yellow flowers, nectarine blossom and peach melba, Creme Fraiche, with a lifted headiness akin to a gewürztraminer. There is a smear of honey on the broad nose with a beautiful freshness to this ripe wine.
  Full-bodied, there is medium- acidity but a luxuriant creaminess of texture that has a core of fleshy yellow cling peach and yellow apple with a spice element from some barrel ageing. A richly textured wine that seems surprisingly balanced with it lower acidity yet has a lightness to keep it lifted.
  Very attractive wine with good length and in great shape.

  Dark golden, yellow fruits in the nose,
  honey, flowers, peaches, exotic yellow fruits and hints of barrel notes on the palate. Fullbodied and and overwhelming wave of flavours, except spine and length are not (anymore?) on that level. Nevertheless a excellent wine, which might been better drunk between 2012 and 2017.
  At least this bottle has past its prime.
  I have two or three bottles left and I will drink them up soon.

  La Tablee: Celebratory Dinner (BYO) (26 Bridge Street, Brooklyn): Again that very light style of Viognier. This is all light and refreshing and pretty and easy. It's a wine for a hot summer day. I appreciate the different approach.

  Lived up to expectations, beautifully fragrant with juicy orchard fruits and incredible golden hue in the glass. Gave it a little time to breathe and aromas intensified.
  Deliciously juicy, creamy mouthfeel with refreshing yet delicate acidity.
  So uttterly moreish, only wishing I had more!!
  Paired with Porcetta ✅����

  During a Rhone North dinner. Opened up after 20 min in the glass. Wonderful nose of white fruit, some honey but also minerals. This Viognier is racy and fresh on the palate, not heavy, showing the pedigree of the awesome 2010 vintage in Europe. I am not a fan of white Rhone but this wine was really nice and everyone liked it at the table.
