Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 93
Classic ripe peach on the nose, this could only be Condrieu. Very full-bodied, but with good freshness on the palate, enough concentration, impact and length. Great balance. A solid bet if you're looking for a classic Condrieu without breaking the bank. Drinking Window 2023-2026.
