Vinous

Josh Raynolds, April 2020 (Vintage 2017)

  • Shimmering straw-gold. Heady orange, honeydew melon, peach nectar and violet aromas show outstanding clarity and emphatic, mineral lift. Silky and taut on entry, then broader on the mid-palate, offering ripe citrus and pit fruit and candied ginger flavors that are complemented by emerging anise and vanilla qualities. Finishes with powerful mineral cut and sharp focus, leaving a suave floral note behind.

(Vintage 2017)

Such wonderfully intense, ripe apricot aromas here with ripe peaches, grilled pears and lemons. The palate has beautiful richness and a smooth-honed, creamy, peach and apricot-custard core. Fluid and alluring. Drink now.

Richard Hemming MW, 2018 (Vintage 2017)

Tasted blind. Malty, rich palate with candied tropical fruits and a touch of floral character. Loads of flavour range here – shows that Viognier isn't just about peach and apricot. Very heavy – but not leaden.
