This is the real deal. Decanted 2 hrs. Wonderful balance between minerality and subtle fruit, and great texture. It kept going strong for 5 hours, suggesting a long balanced life ahead. One of the best Oregon chards I have had, and it might get better over time.

Not as complex as most red label Asili, but on the other hand, this has evolved to a place that is better than the professional reviewers suggested years ago. It shows clear Asili characteristics along with a wonderful sweetness present in my favorite Barbareschi that does not fall into over ripeness (raisins, stewed plums, etc). So this is simply delightful. Don’t expect 1989, 1996, or 2004. But this provides hedonistic pleasure without the downsides typical in a ripe vintage. 94-95.

Still going strong and is delightfully structured for a 2012.
