2019 vintage. Had a taster at work and took the rest home. Didn't notice the heat upon first tasting, but a little excessive upon revisiting. Apricot, nectarine, white grapefruit pith, jasmine, dried orange peel, little back end of clotted cream. Oak definitely more prominent second time around, though richness and concentration persistent throughout. Well-executed manifestation of barrel-fermented Viognier, which I find difficult to execute.

The 2nd of two Viogniers served blind by Sue Bell, and what a mouthful of flavour. Apricots - low to medium acid a honeyed note. French oak playing an accompanying role. A label new to me - a full throttle white to match the full bodied reds from the district. Very impressive.

Two picks 6 days apart to get both texture and acidity. 6months on old French oak with a little lees stirring. Nice round body but still only med body. Nice example.
