Cold Heaven Viognier Le Bon Climat

Tasted and purchased last summer at the tasting room. It was a 90-91 pt viognier when I tasted it with a beautiful nose, but it is probably on the down slide as this bottle is starting to show a little hint of oxidation. The wine is a gold color and very soft. The dominant fruit to my palette is apple and pear. The nose is missing the floral viognier aromas of a young bright viognier, but the palette makes up …

Left it too long, May 2013. Way over.

Sorry, I still go with my notes from the first bottle. Thought this one MIGHT get better with age - NOT. Still bitter,and sour. Yuck!!

Yum. Good stuff. More Dolly Partionish than Julia Roberts, but lots of nice acidity to it. Citrus and peaches on the nose. A good viognier nose. More citrus on the palate. Good finish. I liked this quite a bit.

As good as every on the palate, but aromas aren't as bright and there's a slight oxidative note emerging. Drink em if you got em unless you prefer the aged aromas.

Not showing as well as '07 right now. Fresh and precise on the palate. But varietal aromas are masked by toasty aromas--oak? reduction? Will have to re-try to see if it comes around.

Delicious. Right on target, gets the honeyed aromatics without excess alcohol or fatness. Good freshness, long finish. High viscosity. Phenolic perfection.

Very disapointing. I think they did a bait and switch at the event we were at. This is nothing like what I tasted. This is sour and bitter. I can only drink it with Sprite as a wine cooler. Bummer!
