PnP, consumed over 2 hours. Appearance: Clear, deep lemon with no bricking. Nose: Clean, medium- intensity with aromas of pear, grapefruit, melon rind, and steel. Palate: Dry, medium- acid, medium+ body with a pleasant creamy mouth-feel, medium intensity, 13.5% abv, with flavors of grapefruit and melon rind with a mineral - steel - driven backbone and a medium+ finish. Overall a very good wine with great mouth-feel and balance along with good intensity, complexity and length. Near, but not at peak yet, drink now of over next 2-4 years.

Certainly a little more vibrant in terms of acidity and fruit than the '05 consumed next to it, but that is not a hard measure to beat. Still consistent with the '05 in profile, mouthfeel, and length.

Floral nose. Palate is rich and pretty soft, with peach, tangerine, honey and hint of vanilla flavours. Quite long with slightly bitter finish. Interesting but not as complex as expected and didn’t wow - perhaps just a bit too rich for me. Maybe would have been fresher a couple of years ago?

A lovely Condrieu from a great year. Beautiful golden color. Great body - full, but not sappy. Peachy, honeyed nose and long, generous apricot and pear on the palate with great length.
