  Possibly the finest white wine I have ever drunk.
  
  This is out of this world. Crazy vibrant energy, thick texture, perfect acidity that gives this wine a freshness and tension that balances the fattiness of its texture in a spectacular manner. Still very tight, needs some air to come around, but when it does it is truly stellar. Aromas of white fruits, verbena, linden flower, arum lilys, hints of truffle, wet stone, wrapped in a luscious texture and coming with a never-ending finish that coats your palate with its nobles aromas.
  
  What strikes me is the perfect balance of this multi-dimensional wine: It is as large as long, has a rich creamy-like texture and yet very sharp edges. It is incredibly focused, has an amazing freshness for a 26 years old wine and has a energy that requires a bit of air and time to settle down nicely.
  
  This will age for 100 years if properly stored. A-MA-ZING!
