WTN: Jaffurs Viognier '05...(short/boring)

Tried this last night w/ tomatoes & buratta:
1. Jaffurs Viognier SantaBarbaraCnty (14.5%) 2005: Med.dark/burnished bronze color; slight oxidized/toasted hazeluts/nutty slight pear/Viog bit herbal/new mown hay slight honeyed light toasty/oak fairly perfumed nose; strong nutty/toasted hazelnuts/bit oxidized rather honeyed/honeycomb light toasty/caramel/oak rather complex flavor; bit soft rich/lush slight tangy/metallic toasted hazelnuts/nutty some honeyed/honeycomb rather complex finish w/ slight resiny aftertaste; lost all of the lush Viog fruit but has evolved into a very interesting old Viog.

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. The cork on this wine totally disintigrated/crumbled, both to the AhSo and the ScrewPull. Don't know if this compromised the seal or not. Clearly there was some oxidation taken place but didn't ruin the wine and merely made it more interesting.

Tried again this afternoon at cool room temperature, the nutty/oxidative character had slipped into the background and the lush/ripe Viognier fruit was much more evident. Good stuff.
