Editor note: Extremely deep, concentrated nose, strong mineral base with aromas of apricot, orange and peach. Elegantly juicy, but still very cold in the mouth, undeveloped, still totally dominated by minerals, extremely concentrated and persistent, racy, gripping, tremendous finish. A "Riesling of the century".
