- Thraz - 01-12-2006 Apricot on the nose, nice and long palate typical of this wine. I was happy that it was really good, because it went through a period of being overly aggressive, as viognier can sometimes be. It was very nice in 2000, then I had a couple of disappointing bottles. I understand that viognier is supposed to be drunk in the firt five years or so, but in this case 2002-4 were not right for this. I had a similar experience with another viognier (much lower end, Chateau Beauchene 2003 from the southern Rhone), very nice upon release but too concentrated now - I will give it a couple of years before getting to the rest of it. - winoweenie - 01-13-2006 This SW from my very favorite Rhone producer is one of the few SWs' to grace my cellar. This sucker thinks it's a red. WW - Thraz - 01-13-2006 WW, SW? T. - winoweenie - 01-13-2006 ( Sissy White ). WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] - Thraz - 01-13-2006 Aaaaahhh...
