Knockout soil-inflected nose combines lime oil, white flowers and white truffle, along with hints of marzipan and clove. Wonderfully ripe and lush, and spectacularly showy today. The compellingly sweet flavors of lemon, lime, pink grapefruit and talc really stain the palate. The great, mounting back end displays powerful minerality and great elegance. A wine like this may well shut down in bottle over the next couple of years.
