Ah, the exotic flavors of a truly botrytized wine. Like a German TBA, this Rh\u00f4ne white is a full-bodied beauty of honey, dried apricots, figs, spices, vanilla and grilled pineapple, thick and hedonistic on the finish. A dessert on its own. Drink now through 2010\u2033<\/div>\n

Tasting of Condrieu \"Jardin Suspendu\" 2015: 96\/100<\/p>\n

A powerful rendering, with a ginger and chunky frame composed of a large-scale core of apricot, nectarine, peach and pear aromas. Flirts with the head, but there's a hint of rippling mineral underneath. The finish lures you in for more. Drink now through 2021. 660 cases made.<\/div>\n

Tasting of Condrieu \"Vertige\" 2005: 96\/100<\/p>\n

A huge, youthful Condrieu. Thickly layered notes of anise, toasted fennel seed, Cavaillon melon, quince and persimmon come together in a finish that's both creamy and mineral. Impressive now, but also possesses extraordinary cellaring density. Drink now and through 2013. 250 cases produced.<\/div>\n

Intense aromas of pear, peach and green fig form a rather prodigious core, while notes of brioche, green tea, jasmine, aniseed and honeysuckle add considerable range. A flash of bitter almond adds a final spiciness. A great wine to drink now through 2022. 500 cases produced.<\/div>\n
