Community Tasting Note

NickA Likes this wine:

Thursday, September 28, 2023 - Condrieus and Côte-Rôties of North London (Must & Lees): Excellent nose here, with gorgeous hedgerow fruit, charcoal and a touch of dusky florality. Really fruit-forward on the palate too, which was spicy, grippy, and almost aggressively pure, and also showed some attractive violet and liquorice character. Soft, sandy tannins allowed the wine to be enjoyed despite its young age. Haven't even heard of this producer, but I was impressed. 8% Viognier, 65% whole bunch, natural yeasts, 18 months in demi-muids and bottled unfiltered - no surprise it made quite the contrast to the Gaillard.
