Another great vintage for this wine. Brilliant whites in St. Joseph in 2018. Nose is super granitic with yellow fruits, superbly refined and defined. Palate is ripe and dense with superb finesse, yellow fruits and old vine sap. Juicy with great mineral freshness and clarity. Long finish. Always such a great wine. — 5 years ago

Drink up. It's ready, and will be good, but not great, hereafter. So meat smokey. — 9 years ago

Rich in aroma, flavor, and texture. The oak was there but what caught my attention more was the white floral and lychee notes. On the palate it's dense, extremely pure, with a huge finish that shows acidity buried down deep in the wine. Great stuff if you can try it, a benchmark from one of the greatest sites in Condrieu! — 10 years ago

Bright ruby color with dark brambley fruit, toasted oak and graphite on the nose. Ripe dark fruit, black currant, blackberry, cedar and an undercurrent of black truffles. The finish is long and soft with hints of toffee, vanilla and white pepper. Balanced acidity and great tannin structure. — 11 years ago

This is a nice wine to say the least. Very aromatic, with great smooth tannins. Earthy and meaty on the palate in a great way. Really quite nice — 7 years ago

9.3

Full bodied, nose of very ripe fruit. Fairly acidic, not too oaky, still get hints of leather. Great with steaks, and even better with cheese (comté, taleggio). — 7 years ago

9.0

Fruit driven, showing variety salt berries at first, but never far from provenance with an underlying red fruit character, defined savory character and fresh well built and structured palate. Falling a bit short on the finishes but great QPR. Drinks well, yet built for a positive development. — 7 years ago

9.3

Great but pretty tight right now. 2hrs of air have allowed it to unravel a bit but I'm probably not popping another bottle for a year or so — 9 years ago

James Carter

9.0

Probably past its prime, but, excellent structure and complexity. Let it open up, and the age is dispelled, leaving a wine that provides great length, and which evolves jn its tasting range. — 10 years ago

I'm with the skeptics of this vintage lots of fruit, fine, ripeness, fine but it's not that great. — 10 years ago
