Condrieu, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Cloying nose of lavender honey with wet pebbles. Very perfume-y.
Palate is dried citrus pith blended with fresh papaya and mango, unique combo, yes...but evolving more with each sip, very interesting stuff here.

Amazing golden color in the glass!
Nose is just jumping out of the glass, much improved in a year, lavender honey, ripe papaya, pineapple core, hints of oak and fresh sage.
Palate has banana peel, mango, cold butter, lemon pith, orange pith and granite pebbles.
Last bottle 😕. Likely this could hold until 2022+ and continue to improve.

Rich. Tropical. Honied. Nice minerality. Oak is nicely integrated. Great with the right food. Bought from Fass selections.

What an evolution since last time. Huge nose of lime zest, flowers, some oak, some huge wafting sea breeze like minerals. Very perfumed. Wonderful. Complex and engaging Condrieu perfume. Awesome. Palate is ripe as one would expect, with terrific texture, freshness, minerality, exotic fruits and adequate acidity. Wonderful mouthfeel and still impressive structure. Really surprised me.

Jul 22nd, 2014Lovely pure nose of fruit, mineral, barrel. Great integration. Good acids. Still in barrel and will be bottled in 2013 September. Juicy, extract. But light on tongue.
