Decanted and drank around 13C. Lovely peach, gardenia and pear on the nose. Rich fruit flavours went well with prawn and squid. A great experience for a wine variety that I usually dislike.

Vernay the King of Condrieu. Quite impressive if it perfect. Lovely balanced nose, great lift and acidity witb bite and zip. It’s quite deep and creamy in parts and is 14%. One I’d rather have a shade colder as can get a little much as it warms. Huge density and depth on finish. Very good just get temperature right

Remains on pale side; peach dominates, focused bouquet; assertive oak, tight, well balanced but inexpressive, has depth. Forceful, hard finish. Best left alone for a couple of years.

Similar to prior note after a 1 hour SO; outstanding & again one of the finest viogniers I have ever had, drink or hold (but why?)
