Tasting - Angove Viognier

I did not pair this wine with food
Name: Angove Viognier
Variety: Viognier
Region: N/A
Country: Australia
Year: N/A
Price: $15, on sale for $5.95

Professional Notes: Bright light straw in colour with some green hues, this wine has a lush ripe tropical fruit aroma. This is a fuller bodied white which fills the mouth with heady flavours of apricot, peach and citrus.  Angove Nine Vines Viognier is perfect for today's relaxed life-style and is the ideal accompaniment to grilled prawns with chilli and garlic or roast pork.
My Review: This wine was pale white in color; I could see right through it almost as clear as water. It had a crisp nose. I did not enjoy this taste of this viognier. This is my favorite type of varietal, I have tasted over 20 different types. This one tasted of synthetic rubber. It did not have the usual complex fruity taste. I would not recommend this particular viognier.
