  Quite powerful on the fruity side as many other write. But also quite some oak, too much. I don't find this wine balanced at all. I prefer my Condrieu fruity.

  Explosive nose with intense florality (honeysuckle, jasmine), peach, apricot and tropical fruits like lychee and pineapple. Medium+ bodied with rich fruit and medium to low acidity. Very long aftertaste. Paired very nicely with Asian food and roquefort cheese. Drinks perfectly right now.

  Tasting at winebox. Medium intensity scents of lime, flowers, citrus zest, stone fruit like apricot and peach, honeysuckle. Supple and round in the mouth with medium- acidity honeysuckle and stone fruit again. Good oak integration and quite long finish. Very good balance; a really nice condrieu.

  Northern Rhone visit April 30, 2014; 5/8/2014-5/15/2014: Tasting room visit- Light gold color. Aromas of rose petal, slate, honeysuckle blossom and citrus zest. Bright on the palate with flavors of baking spice, mineral, sweet pear, lime and honey. Delicately balanced and layered, fine and silky with medium acid and a full finish. Excellent.

  Abricot on the nose and the palate but with enough focus and freshness, classic and almost textbook in my book. +++
