In great shape and could still keep another couple years or more - extremely floral with white tea and mineral backbone and plenty of acidity - only lacks a bit in terms of the back palate and length but a fun wine to drink by itself

Rogue night at Mato in Hong Kong. P&P with friends.
Absolutely wonderful condition, and showing off incredibly as a mature Viognier from an excellent producer. Notes of white flowers and melon, and went down very smoothly with a lingering acidity that still gave it some freshness without being tense.
Drink up and enjoy!

Texas BBQ and La Las Dinner at Marc's House (Marc's House): Wow, what a stunner! So elegant and balanced. PnP opened up beautifully in the glass. Also the flavors really came out as it warmed up towards room temp. Love this wine.

Fida's Private lunch with Philippe Guigal and Ralph Garcin (Gramercy Tavern): First wine poured and I arrived late so just a few sips of this. It's honey and light and bright and easy drinking. There's of course the roundness of Condrieu but it is nicely balanced.

PNP. Fully mature and very nice with and without food but maybe just a bit shorter on the finish than I remember. Would be drinking now. A-
