This second bottle was also in great shape. Best as it warmed to near room temp. A substantial and complex new world Chard that is more than just a summer sipper. I can't afford Grand Cru White Burg, but I imagine this probably delivers something close, and at only $6/bottle from auction. Thoroughly enjoyed these two bottles, but now they are gone :(

13.9% abv. Recent auction purchase (2 bottles). Cork in great shape and came out in 1 piece with only the very bottom stained. Dark, deep golden color - almost orange. Not very appetizing, really, but I digress. This was a deep and rich chard, complex, long, and balanced. Integrated in a way that only age can bring. Not what would I would call youthful, but not exhibiting its age in a mature way. This should hold for a while yet.

Really nice. Was better on day two. Quite a bit of peach and melon with a bit of citrus and a "stone" mineral element with a crisp acidity. Well done. Wish I had more '07's left.

I'm very happy to report a return to form with this bottle. Delicious, mature flavors and vibrant acid. Drink.

Oxidative, with bruised apple scents and flavors, lacking verve. Hope this is just the one bottle. WO Chards usually age very well.
