E. Guigal La Doriane Condrieu Viognier 2014
...the 2014 Condrieu la Doriane is neck and neck with the 2013 in terms of quality. It too has sensational, full-throttle notes of tangerines, spice, buttered peach and citrus oil in a medium to full-bodied, elegant, vibrant personality...enjoy bottles through 2020. eRobertParker.com

Rich and unctuous. The wine shows some oak and a super full bodied texture. Not for everyone but a benchmark for its style.

Very unusual. 100% new oak but the Viognier handles it!

14' E Guigal La Doriane Condrieu. An outstanding Viognier! A wine you can just sip on a hot summers day. Welcoming guests & family as they arrive to your home. From appetizers/lunch/dinner. It's one of the most versatile varietals. (my opinion) I can smell & taste so many things in this FULL-BODIED wine. PEACHES/floral/perfumed nose. On the palate I get tangerine, peach, honey, medium oak. A little spice & well balanced acidity/minerality throughout the class. Everything I could want in a great Viognier. The Somm thinks the 13' is drinking better now? I'm certain he's right. The 14' is tasting absolutely delicious tonight. A little more time in the bottle, might be beneficial. (Just another thought ) California Viognier's often criticized for not having enough minerality to it ? Okay ...I can still love them all!!

Light gold in color, not oxidized at all and lots of white fruit and honeysuckle

Gluey, flowery, stone-fruit nose— I took it for Hermitage blanc initially. As it warmed up Viognier character came through more. Big, round, slightly spicy palate hiding great acid structure. Long & lovely. In a great place for my palate, and still years to go.

Full-bodied, oaky, tons of lanolin. Much more expressive on the second day than the first, very good benchmark condrieu
