  6/10/2015 - Lype Likes this wine:

  Still very youthful and powerful, mushroom flavours, good complex fruit, smoke and minerality, a strong showing.

  Luminous, greenish pale yellow color. Paradoxically both very mature and surprisingly youthful nose with aromas of smoke, wizened stone fruits, some earthy mushroom notes, a little nuttiness and a hint of leather, with bright aromas of ripe peach, fresh red apple, some pineapple and hints of minty herbs giving an interesting counterpoint. In the mouth the wine is medium-bodied, incredibly youthful, full of vigor and power and almost crisp with its remarkably high acidity. Intense flavors of yellow and green apples, steely minerality, green herbs, sweet citrus fruits, some spiciness and hints of nutty and toasty maturity. Very youthful and vibrant finish with crisp flavors of green apples, dried aromatic herbs, ripe citrus fruits, steely minerality and something grassy, with only faint hints of developed dried fruit character.
  
  Boy oh boy! Even at the age of 20, this wine is still a baby! Incredible structure, power and intensity with fruit that hasn't aged at all: this seems to be a white wine that will hold forever. This is like a young Vorberg, only with that depth and sense of concentration a wine gains with age, and without that ripe-fruity baby fat. Really impressive stuff, no point opening this in a while. Probably will develop much more with time.
