Condrieu 2008 Guigal

Robert Parker 88 points

The 2008 Condrieu, which also goes through 100% malolactic, was aged in tank (66%) and new small barrels (34%).  It exhibits a floral and honeysuckle-scented bouquet, medium body and good acidity as well as freshness.  Undeniably a successful, fresh, lively effort from this challenging vintage, it should drink well for several years.

"Quite rich and forward, with macadamia nut, Jonagold apple,  melon and butter notes that carry through the long, creamy finish.  Drink now through 2009. "
