France purchase 2004 2000 Domaine du Chene (Rouviere) St Joseph Anais Domaine du Chene (Rouviere) St Joseph, Northern Rhone, Rhone, France Syrah (a dry red table wine) Source Reviewer Rating Maturity Estimated Cost Wine Advocate #147 (Jun 2003) Robert Parker 89 points Drink 2004-2013 $40.00 Additional oak, structure, and depth are found in the deep ruby/purple-colored 2000 St.-Joseph Anais. It reveals copious quantities of licorice, dried herb, sweet, concentrated black cherry and berry fruit characteristics along with a medium-bodied, spicy, tannic finish. It will benefit from another 1-2 years of aging and last for a decade

Dark golden with a brown rim. Very mature. Light but aromatic floral nose with an aged sherry character. Delicate, subtle honeyed palate. Elegant flavours with dried apricot and a nuttiness in the finish.

A very intriguing and exotic wine. Huge aromas of intensely sweet peach and apricot with vanilla spice overtones. Very full and rich in the mouth but acidity is virtually non-existent. The wine underwent 100% malo ? perhaps in the superheated 2003 vintage at least some of the wine should have had malo blocked. Drink before the end of 2005.

Clear, deep lemon. Clean. A pronounced nose of sweet white flowers, peaches and minerals. A hint of ginger and butter. Developed. Medium acidity, high intensity, alcohol and full bodied. Slightly salty and a long minerally finish. Big and powerful, but can perhaps be more refined. Oily. Good to fine quality. High priced. Drink now.

Yellow with green hues. Nose of hawthorne, banana, pineapple and passion fruit.Intensely aromatic amd delicious in the mouth, with a long tropical fruit finish.

Light yellow. Nose reminds of dried apricots, orange blossom, vanilla. Wonderful mouth, with a distinct note of candied oranges. Not as powerful as other Condrieus, but incredibly elegant.

Golden yellow. Nose reminds of marzipan, candied tangerine peel. Wonderful mouth, with croissant and butter undertones. A truly fantastic wine.

Color: Straw gold in color Nose: Toasty oak, ripe peaches, white flowers Palate: Smoky toasty oak frames ripe peach and apricots, Meyer lemon peel, white flowers and great minerality and acidity. Visit my website: The Wine Forum

Lost notes. Drank in late August/early September. Powerhouse wine, rich and honeyed with gobs of fruit and spice and oak. Apricot, peach and honey. Vanilla and cinnamon toast.

too oaky for me.... on the nose there is white flowers and pears

Paglierino, riflessi verdi. Assale i sensi con profumo di confetti, fiori bianchi e gialli, gelsomino, ribes bianco?.Bocca straordinaria, inedita, con note burrose e di panna fresca. Indescrivibile e suadente

This is not your mother's Viognier. Strong, powerful nose of perfume and flowers and a mineral finish that doesn't quit. Outstanding wine that is ready to drink.

This is a wonderful wine. Great finish and aftertaste.

beautiful condrieu at peak condition. should be brunk over the next year

A terrific Rhone white, with great structure and floral and honeysuckle notes. Good either as an aperitif or with food. Plenty of stuffing left, too.

Wonderful golden yellow. Tell-tale nose of aricots, elderflowers, orange blossom. Mouth is simply astonishing, with a finish conjugating citrus zest and melted butter. Wow!

Big and full flavored. Supple tannis with rich nose and earthy flavors including tobacco, tea leaves and a hint of jasmine. The wine is peaking but could last another two years.

Fruit driven, but animal notes emerging with air. Acidity and tannins suggest this should develop very good in bottle but very much attractive already.
