I'd guess it has some ML due to the nice creamy finish, but it doesn't seem to have much to say on the nose nor though the mid palate. But I made some truffled mushroom risotto, and the richness of the dish brought out the light citrus in the wine. It REALLY shines with food, But Its also probably tight, as it's so young. I recommend a decanter.
