Delas, Condrieu Galopine Vintage:2000

Delas, Condrieu Galopine Vintage:2000The 2000 Condrieu La Galopine reveals plenty of heady, intoxicating honeysuckle and jammy peach like fruit. It is medium to full bodied and intense. This wine is ideal for drinking over the next year. This is an exceptional effort. This is a good commercial example.

it delivers a good deal of intensity and maybe even more fruity on the palate

The 2010 Gigondas La Louisiane is a 525-case offering fashioned from 65-year-old vines grown in decomposed red clay and gravel

even seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess focused power and punch on the balanced and impressively persistent finish

Clean and a whistle with lots of personality
