Wonderful wine that took a little bit of time to open and stabilize after opening. I’d recommend to decant this. Everything you hope for in a Condrieu (100% viognier of course).

Nose: nose is pretty flowers.

Palate is still a bit oaky. Nice fruit. As this opens just amazing delicious tropical fruit. Oak integrates.

NOT a pop and pour.

Bought from fass selections.

Nose is tropical flowers. A hint of honey. An hour in more dense. The most elegant honey. Not unctuous at all.

Palate is quite mineral. Fresh . Not unctuous more precise. Like really mineral water flavored with tropical essence. Not obnoxious. Very very elegant.

The great thing about this is that it has very elegant richness and integrated minerality. It’s not a sledgehammer. No obvious wood after 15 minutes.

Succulent.

Needs an hour for density to present itself. Then it’s amazing.

17.5 an elegant Condrieu, not overblown. Good acidity and fruit - indeed, a balanced wine. M+ length. Lovely . Drink now before it closes. And I guess it’s not a vin de garde.
