The nose is developing secondary leafy and herbal notes, truffles, and pencil shavings. The palate is evolving too, with leafy notes, ripe sweetness, and a juicy, structured, fine mid-palate. The truffle note is present on the palate as well, intense, structured, elegant and fine. Drinking beautifully at the moment, yet it will still age gracefully for another 10–15 years. Balanced in a rich style, perfumed, with a long, sun-drenched finish and subtle floral and cassis notes. Superb.
