November 12, 2011 - Deep yellow in color, with some, honeyed, yellow fruit remaining, this has started to oxidize and needs to be consumed now.

September 3, 2007 - Popped and poured. Tropical fruit nose, a little peach with some mineral notes. Rich palate with lots of fruit concentration but not much lift. Could use some more acidity, but for an 8 year old Chard is drinking quite nicely tonight.
