June 15, 2023 - This a stunner! One of the best chards from Mark I have ever tasted and from a tough vintage on top of that. Still bright lemon curd provides tension for the ripe tree fruit, vanillan and subtle spice notes. Nice weight and lengthy and flavorful finish.

August 19, 2020 - Exceptional wine from a very tough vintage. After 9 years still possesses a nice beam of acidity, color is still bright yellow with nuanced complex flavors that persist in a super long finish. Plenty of runway left.

May 21, 2020 - Still surprisingly bright and fresh for its age. Tart apple throughout with mostly lean styling, but an oddly warm finish. Good overall, especially for the price.

November 17, 2018 - Bright, clear color - pale straw. Tree fruit and wet stone on the nose w plenty of acid on the palate. Once the acid subsides crisp apple and tangerine flavors lead to a lingering finish with a hint of mango and hazelnut - pretty amazing really. Can easily go another 2 or 3 years, then expect some oxidative elements to develop.
