  The Dr. Pepper to shake up my Cola habit. Condrieu is something different - thick, waxy texture, concentrated like mercury. Yellow canned peaches in syrup, apricot jam, starfruit, honey, and the most awesome orange liquor.
  
  Condrieu or Cointreau?

  LKILPIO's note is spot on. Much more mineral in style for this house, and less fruit up front. Notes from Day 2 open; shows more fruit today than yesterday. On the nose: soft tangerine, stone, florals. On the palate: tangerine, stone, grapefruit oil, good acidity for condrieu, solid density, somewhat short finish.

  This Condrieu is a somewhat different from the norm of the appellation. It is clearly less fruity, intensive, oily and plush than I had expected, displaying fewer notes of tropical fruits than the Condrieus normally do. On the other hand, the wine is balanced, pleasant and supple on the palate, in spite of the low level of acidity. The wine is providing charming notes of white fruits and flowers. As a whole, this is a very nice wine.

  French road trip, mainly Rhône valley; 9/4/2022-9/18/2022: From open 75cl in a restaurant. A very plush Condrieu: quite reserved scent, high alcohol (14,5%), lowish perceived acidity, considerable fat and sweetness. The first sip is the best, before it tires the palate. 88-89P

  Big aromatics and big palate, but with the spice that I quite enjoy. Its all there, just hating on the short pours.
