2015 E. Guigal Condrieu

Community Tasting Note

Does not like this wine:

86 Points

Wednesday, January 6, 2021 - Light bodied, modern styling. Wide open nose of sweet white flowers, tropical fruit, almonds, and alcoholic heat. Palate is more subdued bringing underripe stone fruit, oyster shells, green pineapple. Oily mouthfeel. Lacking acidic backbone, quite flabby. Mid-palate through finish is difficult -- grainy, hot, bitter.

One of the more displeasurable wines of my past few hundred bottles, and sticking through for hours didn't prove to be the right choice. Was properly stored, little sign of age.

Edit: worse for air on day 2, dumped remainder.
