Tropical, yes, but it evolves, and loads of minerals here and a fine acidity; on day 3 after opening, this is much better, and stands out as a true Northern Rhône white, rather than the cliché (drink early) Condrieu; no hurry here, very fine.

Flowery and tropical aromas and flavors, such as pineapple and citrus. The wine is fruity and lush, but in a very elegant, balanced and stylish way. As a whole, this is an excellent Condrieu that I would like to taste again.

2015 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/19/2015-10/27/2015 (New York City, NY): The Viognier fruit for this bottling comes primarily from vines 50+ years old. Intensely perfumed, it offers a bouquet of white flowers, citrus, gala apples and lavender. Light-bodied, crisply acidic and with excellent weight in the middle, it delivers flavors mirroring the nose and closes very long. This is a lovely wine which, based upon its track record, should age well. Drink now-2023.

Bone dry, floral, light honeysuckle. A bit angular which detracts slightly
