The plastic taste mentioned by others is only slightly present as of 1/13. I smell and taste celery seed and i think that plastic thing is more accurately described as "poppers". Embarrassed to admit the latter but, yeah. Went well with spicy lamb tacos.

A plastic taste? I´ve got a free bottle, then full of wax, penauts oil, apricots and mayflower (your plastics?) among another ahead aromas. Very typical. Gliceric mouthfeel with a lemony touch. Natural dry but lightly honeyed after these 12 years A perfect mate for a Ceasar salad on day 1 and for an Arroz Abanda on day 2.
¿Sabor a plástico? Tengo una botella sin, llena de embriagadores aromas a cera, aceite de cacahuete, albaricoques y flor de espino (¿Vuestros plásticos?) entre otros. Muy típica. Sensación en boca clicérica con un toque a limón. Seca natural pero ligeramente melosa después de estos 12 años. El compañero ideal para una ensalada césar el día 1 y para un arroz abanda en el segundo día.

A light golden colour with a delicate honeysuckle nose, not overt. Viscous and oily in the mouth with subtle flavours, the mid-palate shows the most fruit before tailing off into a subtle stone-fruit finish with quite a bit of heat at the end, more than you'd expect for 13.5% abv. This is a creamy, smooth 10 year old white - far better than I'd expected for its age and not a hint of oxidation. 84-85pts.

Previous reviewer is correct. There is an odd plastic or petrol taste that was not right. It was still very creamy with some nice apricot. Just couldn't get past that plastic taste.

Hmmmm, definitely not as I remember. This has some sort of burnt plastic to it. Creamy lemon oil, light citrus, florals, some mineral doughness. Love the creaminess in Condrieu. Showing more bone dry Vodka alc. than I remember too. Not really that bad.....just not as I remember....and that plastic note is not right.

Perfectly decent viognier with light lemon and herbal notes.

Certainly passed its prime ... the wine still had nice fruit and lovely orange blossom aromas but clearly in a softer state.
