8/28/2020 - joelmark3 Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted 75 minutes prior to drinking. The nose while in the decanter was lacking but when poured into the glasses, the nose exploded. Definitely has legs left, realistically 5 more years. |

8/28/2020 - joelmark3 wrote: 93 pointsMixed reviews from the consumers of this wine. Personally, did not like. Far too lemon forward and did not drink like a traditional Chard. Others loved the wine, citing subtle notes of honey and peach. Would wait 2-4 more years before revisiting. |
