In the background, nicely based aromas of oak barrel maturation - roasted almonds, toast, vanilla oil, creamy and round nose. On the palate dry, intensive and full of typical Viognier "oily" mouthfeel. Very rich in taste, medium alcohol, with long, balanced aftertaste that develops for several seconds and fully maps the complexity of this wine.
