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.

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
