The brilliant 2011 Condrieu Les Vieilles Vignes de Jacques Vernay comes from a parcel of vines planted in 1948. It is a profound barrel and foudre-aged exceptionally rich honeyed Condrieu revealing notes of orange marmalade tangerine oil white peach honeysuckle mango and exotic Asian fruits. This stunning full-bodied deep 2011 is an amazing effort to enjoy over the next 4-5 years. -Robert Parker
