Pale gold. Powerful orange, melon and peach nectar aromas show impressive clarity and take on a sexy floral nuance as the wine opens up. Silky and densely packed, offering vivid citrus and pit fruit and candied ginger flavors complemented by a subtle anise quality. Finishes with strong mineral cut and powerful thrust, leaving pit fruit and lemon curd notes behind. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, May 2020)

Very intense. On the nose: ripe peach, guava, some va, ripe tarragon, vanilla custard, bruised banana. On the palate, wow, the density is off the charts, but the acidity is right there to support. My only complaint is that this clunky and maybe overblown, but that's the style. Did I mention 15.5% abv, which is surprisingly well-hidden with just a touch of white pepper spice and heat on the finish. Not nearly as well-integrated as the 2015.

At Le Beau Rivage, Condrieu. Excellent. 99€. Pretentious place, good but not great food, very helpful sommelier.
