Not harvested until the end of September (which is very late for this cuvee), the 2008 Condrieu la Doriane is still drinking beautifully today and offers a classic, straight, textbook profile. Apricots, citrus, minerals and floral notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied, lively, pure Condrieu that should be drunk over the coming year or two.
Lovely, inviting aromas of creamed yellow apple, peach and persimmon give way to a mouthfeel that's surprisingly lush for the vintage, letting additional pear, melon, buttered brioche and quince notes pump through the lengthy, dense finish. Bold but well-defined.?
