"Light peach skin. Ripe peach, pear nectar, mango and honey on the deeply perfumed nose. Plush, broad and gently sweet on the palate, offering warm orchard and pit fruit flavors sharpened by a suggestion of candied ginger. Distinctly rich and exotic, in the style of the vintage, delivering strong finishing thrust and a late jolt of bitter orange pith. I'd drink this one on the young side. - Josh Raynolds"

"The 2016 Condrieu Les Ravines is more fresh and vibrant, with medium-bodied notes of citrus blossom, spice, and mineral nuances. It doesn’t have the exotic, majestic style of the other two cuvées, but is still a beautiful Condrieu that will keep for 3-5 years."

"This domaine turned out a trio of fine 2016s. The 2016 Condrieu Les Ravines, blended from five different granite lieux-dits, features scents of crushed stone to go along with bold pineapple fruit. It's round and even a bit oily but not overdone, balanced by hints of ginger and white pepper on the finish. - Joe Czerwinski"

"A blend of fruit from five granitic vineyard parcels, Nitro's 2019 Condrieu Les Ravines is floral and effusive on the nose, spicy and complex, with more lychee than apricot fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it remains vibrant from start to finish, finishing with hints of white pepper and minty freshness.
Remi Niero has turned out some wonderful wines. Modern and clean without having lost their sense of place, his various 2019 bottlings from Condrieu, in particular, are stunning. Bravo!- Joe Czerwinski"
