Do yourself a favour and try Cuilleron's "Les Chaillets".I used to run a winery which had Australia's oldest viognier plantings and we made a pretty good viognier but Cuilleron changed my opinion of what could be done with great viognier.
Pretty damned hard to do a DBCO trial when the glasses are so different - the XL5 has a volume of 215ml whereas the Riedel is 1.1 litres. As one Australian winemaker was wont to say, if I can only drink two glasses a day I'll have the Riedel GC burgundy please.
