Now a full gold in appearance, this wine still ( given a good hour's aeration,) displays a cornucopia of gentle, intriguing aromas - hints of white flowers, ripe apricots, q uince, honeydew melon dusted with ginger,ripe banana , orange , and almond. A rich creamy mouth feel with a dry finish , giving flavours of dried apricots and spicy stem ginger, and banana fritter(!). Almost over the hill , but a fascinating example of mature Condrieu , from an impeccable source. Drink up !

Consistent with previous note although I found this more balanced but that could also be that it was paired with food to match this time. Would be interesting to see where this goes in 5 years time. Will save my last bottle...

Not a classic Condrieu nose, oddly. Much more like a Tokaji - peaches, limes, marmalade. Dried apricots, pine nuts, cream, banana even. Lovely and charming. Ageworthy, for sure.
