Talk about bottle variation. This looks really good; settled and showing good balance, hints of pineapple, still largely generic but very drinkable (now).

Still plenty of life. Growing fat and a touch sweet but showing good character. Even some bot semillion-like character coming through but in reality this is a aging component.

Still a rather uneventful dry white but struck a cord with me this time around. Faint musk and chalk on the nose, easy to pick as a Viognier, but the palate is more tangy and dry. Enough classic notes (musky and sweet minerals) to remain faithful to the style.

Uneventful. Didn't show the weight of the previous tasting albeit that was 5 months ago (and a reasonable amount of time in this wine's revolution). Dry and tangy with acid making it's presence felt. Primary fruit is / has fallen away. Will be drinking the remainder over 2012.

Still plenty of life but has fallen into a rut of being a generic white wine. Tangy and some citrus but no obvious viognier charater.
