Excellent colour; fragrant, stylish and complex, rippling with liquorice/anise, spice and black cherry; fine texture and mouth feel; ripe tannins. Another outstanding wine. Six percent viognier

A very good wine, perhaps a little more forward than expected, but showing mellow aged complexities of the 'roasting pan juices' style, laced with a trace of mint. It's an elegant, medium-bodied wine with a little leanness, and quite typical of Clonakilla
