Nice try to emulate the Cote Blonde from Rhone, but still a bit too powerful, little too toasted the oak(American??) and doesn't expand in the mouth
I'd drink it, I wouldn't buy againšŸ˜¬

Barossa gem in half bottle. Still very youthful from a blessed vintage. While the Shiraz brings the stewed currants, the Viognier lifts the glass with notes of bush flowers, lavender and rhubarb. Warm on the palate, rich but lifted, hints of baking spices and tar. Quite a long finish. Such a pleasure.

Incredible expression - 5% Viognier - 40% whole bunch - no new wood - incredible acid - fine tannin - aromatically borders on animal fat with sour berry

Very light but complex, with spice and tobacco and ripe fruits, with a slight sweetness!
