Surprisingly good. Assumed this would be over the hill, but it drank really well. You can tell this must have been huge when young, but now it is quite graceful - oak integrated, fruit subdued but acid still assertive, some tropical notes still discernible but now coexisting with nuttty/almond notes and some oxidative Sherry-like notes too. Drink up and enjoy. Paired great with a jambon et beurre baguette.

Downright delicious and multidimensional. The fruit profile is really sexy with peach, candied pineapple and meyer lemon complimented by flint stone and the right amount of oak. While the acid backbone is there and never harsh, as one would expect it is much more noticeable as the wine reaches room temp. Great sipping, but find some bold food to keep up with this chard. Fantastic right now.

Best of the bottles I had so far, a touch oxidized and a bit yeasty, but good overall fruit and butterscotch notes.
