I’m not very experienced with Condrieu, but knowing what younger stuff offers, this feels past its prime. There’s a sherbet nose and a very full butterscotch nose. That’s about it.

Has changed substantially relative to previous tasting. Not surprisingly, much more rounded, more tropical coming through in the nose and mouth, acidity has faded a bit. Less elegant, more lush than previous tasting. Still very enjoyable.

Stunning and phenomenal. A harmony here rarely achieved at this price point. Complex and balanced, steely nose gave way to plenty of tropical fruit with hints of almond and skinned fig.

Body is medium light, just a little bit of viscosity to balance medium acidity and a bit of soapiness. Very pretty Flavors are tree fruits including nectarines and clementines Finish has a bit more apricot pit and a nice mouth coating quality Very enjoyable. Not at all over the top. Probably the most elegant expression of viognier I've tasted.

Note: I use a scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
This bottle was true to form. On the richer, fuller side vs. lean and steely.
Some banana and fruit flavors.
Might be a little past prime, but still enjoyable.

Very elegant condrieu. Classic lavender nose, with slight but not overwhelming tropical fruit. Finishes drier than many condrieu.
