Nicely evolved Condrieu. Sweet floral hints, fresh and candied tangerine peel, almonds, mineral. Finish is long, with a ginger like sensation (without the flavour). The wine is not as fatty as in it’s youth and the flavours are a bit more restrained, that is a plus for me.

Another lovely bottle of Condrieu... I do love this stuff. This bottle shows the ripeness of the vintage, but maintains good balance; tropical fruit, floral notes, jasmine, and ginger. The palate has the richness typical of Viognier, but maintains solid energy. While not the best bottle of Condrieu I've had, still very enjoyable and I think good for the vintage as it avoids excess ripeness

jasmine, honeysuckle, apricot, meyer lemon, toasted anise, fennel, citrus peel, and ripe peach.
Rich mouthfeel, rather creamy body with a nice freshness of acidity. Nice mineral finish, with the floral notes continuing to linger throughout.
Not too familiar with Condrieu but for a Napa focused palate this is great

Fresh and pretty, floral and with bright fruit and acidity, without the excessive oiliness that I tend not to prefer.
