Condrieu La Doriane Guigal 2001 (750ML)

94 Points, Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate: "There are 10,000 bottles of the luxury cuvee, the 2001 Condrieu La Doriane. One of the appellation’s most distinctive and complex offerings, it offers up a fragrant perfume of incense, smoke, honeysuckle, and jammy white fruits. Unctuously-textured and full-bodied, with tremendous intensity, it should be drunk over the next 1-2 years, although past vintages have held up better in bottle than I predicted. Nevertheless, I prefer these whites in their youth."

93 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous: " Pineapple, grapefruit and tangerine scents, complicated by flowers and subtle oak. Dense and chewy in the mouth, with a distinctly mentholated aspect. Amazingly penetrating for a wine with 14.8% alcohol. But this is bone-dry, with less than one gram per liter residual sugar. Powerful and very long on the aftertaste. Perhaps more structured than the equally rich 2000."
