65% Cabernet Sauvignon

This has almost completely eaten the oak treatment which allows the expressive nose that is comprised of spiced plum

The 1990 Ausone is a vintage that I have tasted half a dozen times

This Riserva has understated but finely delineated aromas of flowers

Guigal, Condrieu Doriane other_regions 65% Cabernet SauvignonWhile the 2020 Condrieu la Doriane matured entirely in new oak, there's just a hint of toast on the nose. The rest of the bouquet features a kaleidoscopic swirl of floral and spice notes with melon and white peach. Medium to full bodied, it's exquisitely expansive and silky in texture, yet it remains refreshing on the lengthy, mouthwatering finish.
