Domaine du Tunnel (Stéphane Robert)
Condrieu Viognier
Condrieu, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Nose: gorgeous white and yellow flowers. Intoxicating as it opens. Intense florality.
Palate : elegant honey. Silky. So delicious. Nectar. Nectarine like. Not huge acidity.
This wine takes me to a happy place. Not elite complexity. But elite deliciousness. And not chardonnay or Riesling.

Maximally delicious. Almost too much but not quite so.
Optimal after 45 minutes.
Nose: yellow flowers. The aroma of a perfect peach whose juice is dripping down your chin. A hint of dried apricot.
Palate: unbelievably delicious. Peach. Apricot. Long. Still some mountain stream here. As this opens apricot nectar. Insane.
It’s a lot of wine but it holds together. One of my favorite wines on earth. If you can’t enjoy this, you can’t enjoy life.

Nose: tropical flowers. So elegant. Not a punch in the face. That’s the house style. As this opens … just a gorgeous sheen of elegant richness. So integrated.
Palate : silky. Hints of guava. Papaya. Elegant. Young. So delicious. But young. Theres just this beauty about this. Like the epitome of Amazonian tropical fruit.
This will likely be better as it matures.
Long finish.
