Have to say I was surprised how good of shape this was in. Really peaking and was a wonderful, rich, tropical flavored wine with notes of oak. Not always my style, but it was lush without being flabby and the age has helped it. Would recommend.

A lovely Chard. I'm not a Chard drinker, but I consistently like what GF does with the grape. Absolutely gorgeous glowing straw yellow in the glass. The nose is full of crisp citrus and melon. On the palate, the texture is most striking -- it's silky smooth without being oily. The citrus notes are met with strong minerality, with a finish that almost has hint of ashes (not unpleasantly).

Aroma of citrus and a few floral notes. Taste of butter at the start with citrus notes filling in at the end.
