Tasting notes
Still superb, the 1998 Condrieu La Doriane offers a buttery, smoky, orange marmalade, peach jam-scented bouquet with tell-tale mineral notes. It is an unctuously-textured, rich Condrieu that should drink well for another year. Importer: Fred Ek, Ex Cellars Wine Agencies, Solvang, CA; tel. (805) 686-9153

Spicy aromas of peach syrup, citrus skin and menthol. Rich, sweet and lush, with superb depth of flavor and extract. Seems both livelier and more structured than the normale, not to mention longer on the back end. Lots of gras here.
