@Delectable Wine misspelled name, but I'll take it, I guess.

A fantastic condrieu, and for my palate, definitely drink-now, by contrast to the current drink-by dates on Cellartracker (starting 2021). On the nose: candied ginger, tangerine, honeysuckle, amazing aromatics. On the palate: white-pepper spice, good viscosity, good supporting acidity, lemon oil, ginger, grapefruit pith and mineral oil. Excellent.
