  Still reminiscent of a Condrieu with viognier typicity. Slightly oxidised and interesting, oily, round and mineral finish, so lovely.

  Very powerful nose, with intense and complex flavours. Apple, peaches and cream, and some fresh citrus come across. Really full and smooth texture and a long spicy finish. Really nice!

  Very light, green-hued gold with low optical density. Aromas are intense and moderately complex, with tropical fruits, banana peel, flowers, and spice. Medium bodied, dry, and with crisp acidity on the palate, with nice complexity and intensity of flavours. Leads off with spice-laden fruits (sort of like a fruit-skewer dipped in spices and baked to caramelization), and holds firm through a mid-palate that brings in floral notes and more spice. Quite full flavoured through the finish, which is lengthy and smokey, with just a tinge of heat. A hugely interesting wine that brings a lot of enjoyment and intensity. Would be really nice for those who don't like white wine, and would pair well with simple, medium weight dishes. Really great bottle!
