  Agree with the previous comments about oakiness. There's just too much on this wine. However, the fruit and acid are quite good. The oak just brings the wine out of balance unfortunately.

  Gros jus sur l'élevage et sur les amandes.
  Gras et crêmeux avec une impression
  de sucré. Vraiment de style moderne avec un
  manque d'acidité. Ample et too much.
  Maquillé pour plaire à un certain public....mais pas pour moi.

  Really, really creamy although in told the malolactic fermentation is avoided. Nutty, tropical bananas and coconut. Juicy and delicious.

  Nice classic Napa chard, probably a bit past peak. A bit flabby for my taste, lacking acidity, but nice fruit and integrated oak.
