Michel Ogier, Condrieu Jacques Vernay Vintage:2012 this is a classic Griotte

this is a classic Griotte that should amply reward 10 to 15 years of cellaring

Here the textures are rich

with the most pronounced barrels selected for the final blend (while others are directed to Les Terres Fines and perpetual reserve)

There is outstanding volume and intensity to the imposingly-scaled flavors that possess first-rate midpalate concentration along with an abundance of dry extract that imparts a velvety texture to the firmly structured and beautifully persistent finish

which has that ever so slightly bitter lemon tang that offsets the sweetness
