16/20 (90/100)

Цвет насыщенно-золотистый. Аромат весомый, полный, абрикос, цукаты ананаса, сушеное яблоко. Приятный, полный, солидный. Вкус чистый, фруктовый, минеральный, дымный, чуть копченый. Послевкусие умеренное.

Had past vintages with success. This one was hot on the nose and palate. Too much alcohol.

Nice and balanced Viognier. Velvety, acidity and fruttato all there. Had it with home made tortiglioni with shrimps sautéed in olive oil, garlic, harissa and tomatoes. Had it cooled but let it rest to get to room temperature for correct tasting.

OK but I expect more of a floral context to a good Viognier
