A gorgeous Condrieu which at this stage is less exotic and waxy but rather more precise with superb flavor definition. Good acidity helps balance out the rich flavors of pineapple, tangerine and quince. The finish is taut and tingly with excellent concentration and grip. Perfectly balanced for further aging. 92+ Off the list at Gabriel Kreuther, NYC.

Deep yellow, viscous, and daybright. Aromas of ripe melon, peach, apricot, as well as mint, pepper, and some grey rocks. Full bodied and somewhat waxy, yet well balanced by mouthwatering acids, and also some back alcohol heat, with ripe peach, nectarine and apricot flavours, some almonds, mint, rocket leaves, and pepper, as well as a slight bittersweetness at the back. Medium length and fairly complex. Classic Condrieu, and a pretty pleasurable one
