Floral and apricot aromas are bolstered by hints of cedar, baking spices and honey on the nose of the 2017 Condrieu Invitare. It's full-bodied and rich but fresh and long on the finish. I'd drink it young for the flamboyant, exotic aromas and flavors, but it has the requisite concentration for aging, if desired.

A ripe and flattering style, with alluring creamed yellow apple, melon and white peach flavors, gilded with honeysuckle and acacia accents on the finish. A crowd-pleaser. Drink now through 2021.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Condrieu Select to Add
