Note di degustazione
Nectar lovers will be amazed by the richness of this wine. The fully mature grapes spend two months on straw mats before being pressed. It exhibits a light gold color, with a texture resembling molasses. Despite being aged in 100% new oak, no wood is discernible. Its astonishing white truffle-scented nose includes notions of coffee, marmalade, and creme brulee. Extraordinarily dense and thick, with surprisingly good underlying acidity, this is a remarkable wine. Sadly, only 100 cases exist. It will last for 100 years, but it will be impossible to resist in its youth. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-89000

A wine of extraordinary persistence, perhaps the longest I tasted on my recent tour of the Rhone Valley. The following '98s were tasted from barrique:
