There is a slightly bitter note reminding of oil from citrus peel and a little nuttiness that beings complexity. In the fruity flavors are pear, apricot and a nice yellow flowery touch. Long aftertaste with some grounded white pepper.

The wine is perfect for a viognier but I just dont like it. For me it lacks freshness. The surplus in flowers make it heavy. Too heavy for my personal liking.
