    This wine reminds me of truffle mac-n-cheese…not in flavor, but more in the comfort food that is SO satisfying…able to be gobbled up without thinking…yet the mind is engaged and tastebuds activated with the added truffles…more so than just straight MNC. This wine is creamy, 1er worthy, and almost balanced too well…nothing stands out, kind of boring to me as I like unique things that scream something! Ripe orchard fruits(pear/apple)…tad sweetness, but like a sweet lemon…crisp and super crystalline pureness…plenty citrus cut and crushed oyster shell salinity. Very pretty white flower, spearmint florals and sweet vanilla bean spice…slight lees. Just a leisurely, uneventful, but totally satisfying cruise down the river. I drank the whole bottle myself! (93 pts.)
