Nicolas Potel, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2005 brooding and reserved big bodied flavors Zaca Mesa Vineyard Viognier & Rousanne brooding and reserved big bodied flavors that are underpinned by firm but not aggressive tannins and excellent length There is again excellent detail to the intense broad shouldered flavors that are shaped by dense but fine grained tannins on the hugely long volume and concentration to the delicious and round flavors that terminate in a slightly lean and austere finish As the description confirms this showed awkwardly and was frankly difficult to read as the underlying material appears to be of solid quality but whether it can eventually harmonize remains to be seen
