Community Tasting Notes 9

  November 26, 2015 - After a frankly poor 2010 a few weeks ago (see note), this is incredibly fully coloured - looks like mature Rieussec. The flavour is actually pretty well controlled though this is clearly on the downslope and the acidity is long gone. I really like mature Condrieu nut this is not a patch on the 2005 Les Terrasses du Palat had in February.

  September 17, 2011 - V impressive length, magic nose, deep golden colour and just fireworks on the palate. This wine has aged beautifully and is in it's full glory now. Awesome.

  June 15, 2010 - Dark yellow color, some in early tropical aromas (passion fruit), apricot. On the palate, like the apricot, banana and some pepper in the end. Mineral, so very long in the end. A great wine to drink with friends or follow strong dishes.

  December 14, 2009 - Not sure if there is such a thing as a dumb phase with Condrieu, but this was very muted with pear, honeysuckle and anise, but finished a bit flat.
