IMHO I think this is an underrated vintage for this cuvée. Right now in optimal drinking window with beautiful nose of tropical fruits and butterscotch. Nice texture and balance. I will not hold for too much more years so I will drink all I have in my collection.

This had been open for about 24 hours. The fruit had turned intensely tropical and dense. Lots of oak and butter, but they were nicely integrated with the fruit. I prefer the Estate chard, but this is a nice value.

Typical MEV Chardonnay. Touch of butter. Oak is toasty but well integrated. Fruit is substancial. Acidity balance is beautiful. The Estate is better and more age worthy, but this is a great value at half the price.

Still fresh, nutty and spicy. Disappeared quickly.

A dark yellow, almost golden color. Rich nose of oak followed by caramel, vanilla, then citrus. Not my type of chard, but others enjoyed it.
