Condrieu, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Waited too long. On the nose: a touch of bruised flowers, golden apple, and banana. On the palate, good acidity, but softer than I would like, banana, bruised apple, oily, and a touch flat on the finish. Glad this is my last btl. The bottle I had 12/17 was much, much better. Haven't had any more recent vintages either.

I normally find Condrieu overpowered but this is a superb Viognier @ €43 that paired perfectly with spicy chicken & cashew nut taking you on an ecstatic wine tongue journey 😍
🍷 Straw yellow
👃 Pinapple lead tropical aromas infused w/ gooseberry, apple, citrus & minerals
👄 Med+ body of creamy buttery pineapple, citrus & honey w/ a racy acidity & not overpowered
🎯 Med+ rich mouth coating full fruity oily yummyness 😁

(16.5/20) Свежий аромат лимонов, ананаса и яблока. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и ощутимым алкоголем во вкусе. Насыщенное во вкусе. Очень хорошо! #DVR2017

May 8th, 2017Much better than the Roches de Arbuel from the same producer we had recently. Beautiful condrieu nose with loads of florals and tropical fruit. Soft on the palate and shows a touch oily, but reasonable minerality to balance. Finish is a touch oily.
I didn't take this bottle home, but I was told that on Day 2 this had fallen apart. If this bottle is indicative, drink up.
