  6/26/2020 - Lype Likes this wine:

  Fresh fruit and hay on the nose, on the palate peach, tropical yellow fruit and minerality complemented by a tad sour tones and grapefruit, a very attractive combination which with the fresh acidity make this very harmonious and enjoyable.

  Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow" #020: Riesling Grosses Gewächs (By JdB): Flowers, minerals, melon and fresh tropical fruits in the bouquet. On the palate white fruits, some herbs and caramel, a pleasant touch of petrol, good acidity and bitterness and a good length.

  2nd Dinner in La Mere Germaine Chateauneuf-du-Pape: In the bouquet tropical fruits and some development. On the palate juicy yellow fruits, minerals and a good balance between acidity and sweetness.

  Medium yellow with a light green shimmer --- Nose van Volxem like, vapour of stone meal and tropical fruit, some peaches, a little green apple, minerality, some mint --- Mouthfeel gentle, warm, oily --- Palate green notes, some bark, cut grass, minerality, some herbs, some stone fruit --- Finishes on bitter lemon, minerality, bark. Good vine with questionable qpr. Do not see that much development potential.
