Not that expressive Viognier you would expect from the variety, it is quite round with white flowers and apricot in the bouquet and as well as in the taste. It is accompanied by nice hazelnut tones, which are most likely from the oak aging. Reasonable wine for the price. Nothing BIG, but good company with nice food.
