Another underwhelming bottle, with evident residual sugars dominating what fading pear and apple notes that remain. This was never very good, but surely there's no upside either.

Not sure this is aging very well. The austere fruit seemed outweighed by the intense mineralogy and acidity. Pear, lemon, a touch of oak, but really needed some fleshiness. Maybe an off bottle, but I purchased it on release and transported it less than a mile.

Noise crisp pear and floral notes. Light, airy taste. Well balanced. Semi-sweet. My kind of Chard. Had 2011 at Boarding House in May - not nearly as good.

This bottle was excellent, better than the first one I tasted. I totally disagree with the previous review.
