Tasting Notes / Comments: | A wine with a strong straw colour, with a hint of honey, melons and fresh grass. It has a slight effervescence on the tongue. It has a very luscious taste, the honey sweetness coming through with melons and a slight bitter edge. Yes and there is some oakiness as well. It is lasting in the mouth and overall, quite intense. All-in-all a little bit more than the average Languedoc Viognier but then perhaps the name of Hardys – the large Australian producer – in the small print on the bottle may explain this. If this is the case the influence of the Australians in France is certainly being felt. 'Enjoying Viognier' (2000 vintage)
