  Beautiful, linear, wet stones, bone dry softness, just the right degree of creaminess, gentle fruit. No part of this is even slightly overdone, and as a result the overall package is a wonderfully restrained and balanced very fine wine. The fact that I found this (last) bottle in a Wiltshire shop 2 years ago at £13.50 makes it probably the best QPR bottle of any wine that I've ever bought. I also saw it last year in London at £18.95, and the 2015 vintage is currently on sale at a wine shop in Tunbridge Wells for £54. Go figure.
  
  A touch more fruit concentration would have got it a 94/95 score.

  From a half-bottle.
  
  Medium golden color with some amber to it.
  Medium(+) intensity nose showing bruised peach, dried apple skin, citrus oil, toasted nuts, honey, flinty and floral overtones.
  
  Bordering on full bodied but not heavy or fatty at all. There’s acidity and texture enough to balance that rich body. Great concentration to the flavors with lots of bruised fruit, spicy and floral notes. It ends with a long, lingering finish.
  
  A really great bottle of Condrieu that is far more interesting than the heavy, sometimes soapy, wines I’ve had before. Definitely worth seeking out!

  My first full bottle of Condrieu in quite a while. Outstanding full bodied flavour. Good price for a half bottle.

  (at Jean George – NYC) Fairly full and exotic. Was enjoyed by the table and went well with a variety of dishes. (90)
