Pop and pour. A bit of star anise, followed by ripe fruits. Still has some decently robust tannins with a medium length finish. Not as fragrant as I remember it being when it was younger. Might need to decant a bit longer to let it open up.

Vanilla (oak), light butter, a touch of minerality. Better on the cold side if you prefer more crisp Chards, to counteract the butter.

Some of the fruit has faded and it has developed a nice earthiness.
