Natural type vio. Quite cloudy. Very aromatic - peach, apricot. Heady stuff. Super generous on the palate, very complex with the fruit tones balanced by a savory lanolin character and big time acacia notes. Like a liquid orchard at harvest time. Starts to oxidize relatively quickly and then the almond flavors kick in, adding interest. Really cool stuff, if a little warm and heavy. One glass is enough, but a quite enjoyable glass it was.

Nez exotique et réduit marée au début puis abricot
Bouche ample gourmande et crémeuse
Finale avec un peu d alcool mais avec de la tension

Jaune intense
Exotique banane litchis il manque la rose pour partir en alsace
Attaque pleine ample avec de la sève et de l alcool
Milieu plein et gourmand
Finale exotique et une bel amer cailloux humide assez long
Je n aime pas trop le condrieu mais pas mal du tout
