92 Points | International Wine Cellar , March/April 2013
Pale chartreuse color. Vibrant, mineral-laced aromas and flavors of citrus fruits, nectarine and honeysuckle. Broad, sappy and penetrating, displaying a striking balance of richness and vivacity. Closes on a sexy floral note, with excellent clarity and mineral-driven length. The 2010, which I was able to re-try this winter, is showing quite a bit more heft and power than the '11 version and possesses even more intense minerality as well. I know that the common wisdom is that Condrieu doesn't age well but I'm betting that that the '10 Galopine will reward at least a decade of patience.
