This is a great wine that might last for decades. It’s elegant and beautiful on the nose: raspberry and violet with a hint of white truffle. The palate is complex, subtle and layered, with notes of raspberry and white truffle standing out amidst plenty of wisps of savoriness. A somewhat tannic finish suggests that its best days are at least five years away.
