"Barruol has turned out two outstanding offerings from Condrieu. Both the 2006 and 2007 Condrieu exhibit honeysuckle, tropical fruit, and apricot jam notes. The 2007 is more fruit-driven than the more mineral-dominated 2006. Both of these top-notch Condrieus are best consumed over the next 2-3 years." 90 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 182
"Greenish-gold. Extremely complex, alluring bouquet of pit fruits, melon, orange, gingerbread and anise. Fresh, finely etched citrus and pit fruit flavors pack a punch but are light in body, thanks to a zesty mineral underpinning. The finish features a persistent anise note." 90 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 09 |
