Beautiful golden color in the glass, large meniscus around the rim. I was surprised by how mature it smelled when I opened in the cellar. Lemon/lime, sweet peas (the flower), and spice on the nose. So much spice, some dried fruit, some cedar on the palate, the mouth-feel is almost oily and full. It has a very long finish, with the cedar taking over after 15-20 seconds. Alluring and very satisfying. P&P.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS; Condrieu (By AH): Honey and apricots and beautiful oak and cedar in the bouquet. On the palate the same impressions, marzipan, ginger, a bit savory, complex and enormously concentrated. Beautifully fresh acidity. We had the 2018, 2019 and 2020 beside each other and this 2019 was the most impressive.

Medium/light gold color. Aromas of citrus/lime, floral notes. Palate of citrus, lemon zest, melon, hazelnut, lavender(?). Silky texture. Medium weight and long finish.
Elegant wine, great showing. Seems it should drink at this lefvel for some time.

Ripe fruit, leaning towards tropical fruit. Nutmeg and spice, fruit cocktail of elementary school days, almond, wet stone. There’s new oak but it’s not intrusive. Acidity balances arguably saccharine finish.
