(Francois Villard Condrieu Grand Vallon) #1; COLOR-golden; NOSE-exotic; intriguing floral; like imaginary flower pastries; potpourri with pastry Crème element; exotic and complex; really pretty nose; PALATE-kiwi cut in half with white pepper on it; and this picks up steam (starts off with fresh acidity on the attack; then more on the mid-palate and by the time you get to the finish, it's a runaway train); big wine; really stands up and has the complexity and structure that you see in so many White Burgs; very thick; I like the flavor and finish; it's complex; not for everyone; some mint on the finish; a great bottle of white wine; THIS is complexity (more complex than many reds); JR-91; WS-93; GV-92

This seems to have lost something since I last tried it. Nose wasn't very expressive and it was missing the richness and precision of the previous bottle. Did not pair well with braised pork loin & apple, which was too sweet & overpowered this wine.

Florality still showing nicely, with great minerality. Last two bottles go for sashimi and shellfish.

Pale lemon green. Flowery nose of honeyed apples and pears. The palate is slightly full-bodied, musky, sweet-ish and tropical, but anchored in white pommes and stone fruit. The finish is very ripe and coating, but tart enough to refresh, and medium-long. Probably tamer than when young, but very much to my taste.

I was worried but this still drank well. Beautiful nose and light golden color. Medium body and a nice touch of acid. Fruit has faded a little but not in a bad way, still tripical. The wine was enjoyed by all (5 ppl)
