Condrieu, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Ultra-rich, but does the savory-and-fruity-dance better than any wine except for GG Riesling. A cornucopia of explosive, round-ripe fruit combined with nutty, herbal, and meaty secondaries. Oak comes to play as well. Do I want it often or even sometimes? No, but in the right situation this is exactly the sort of wine you want on the table and it's undeniably super complex. Weak-ish acid is bolstered by bitterness and a broad, creamy texture.
