Even better than I remembered. Seems to have more complexity than the previous bottle. Very aromatic nose with a lot of spice, ginger and nutmeg along white peach. Superb balance, med body, matching the nose. Long and intense finish.

Char Bor Wines Lunch at Lucas (Klapsons Hotel, Singapore): Very nice. Served to cold at first, it opened up into a lovely Viognier by the end of lunch. Golden yellow colour. Lovely nose, with cream of mushroom, perfumed dried flowers, musky yellow fruits, honeysuckle and a lovely, subtle minerality. With times, some pronounced almond notes wafted along. On the palate, rich yellow fruits with a tropical edge, some kumquats, beeswax and flowers. Not to much acidity, and this had a weighty concentration and oily texture to it, but was somehow never leaden. Finish was dry and length with another touch of minerality. With time, lots more typical notes of almond nuts started opening up. Lots of interest and complexity here. 91+

Beautiful textbook Condrieu. Pale gold color with transparent rim, plenty of peach, apricot and hint of minerality on the nose. Full body, juicy, some oak but nicely used, again plenty of peach and apricot. Long, luscious finish.

At Frederick's: More delicate than most of the condrieus we've had recently, light, floral, no sign of spice or oiliness

Slow to open up. Once open, though, beautiful notes of honeysuckle and lychee.
