Faury/Lionel Condrieu 2019

95 points James Molesworth (Wine Spectator): “Juicy and well-detailed, with verbena and quinine notes tucked in amid showy Cavaillon melon, white nectarine and white peach flavors. Despite all the opulence, there’s also a freshness and underlying mineral edge, giving this cut and direction through the finish. Drink now through 2027. 200 cases imported. (Jan/Feb 2022)”

93-94 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): “Green-tinged straw. Powerful, mineral-accented scents of fresh pear, peach and violet are brightened by a building citrus pith nuance. Silky and tightly focused on entry, then deeper on the midpalate, offering concentrated orchard, pit fruit, Meyer lemon flavors and a hint of honeysuckle. Closes with repeating florality and firm, impressive, mineral persistence and cut. (May 2020)”
