The Viognier here is pretty evident, with a vibrant purple rim and aromatic 'prettiness' - stonefruit, florals and blossom. Many may find it distracting.
Look beyond it to find a cool Syrah, a little meat, smokiness and touch of almond. Entry shows a wine with a graphite quality, with tannin that is ultra-fine. There's a gentle depth to the wine - if that's not an oxymoron.
Savoury rather than fruity, more about subtlety, guile, the minerality hooking you in. Subtle persistence on the finish, wonderful balance, structure. 91
