  This is a little christmas eve miracle. Thought it'd be shot and oxidized. Also, the cork was wet up to about 3mm from exit though symmetric. Bottle ended up being amazing. Went with scallops with beurre blanc. Doubt it'd hold up more than a few hours but was consumed before that anyway.

  Opened from a screw cap. No formal notes, but paired surprisingly well with dungeness crab as I expected this would not have had as much life left in it as it did.

  Expected this to be past it but was pleasantly surprised - nose of apple and straw color this medium to full bodied Chard seemed well-balanced - nice level of acidity to start with flavors of apple, pear and citrus. Seemed like the oakiness/butter didn't show up until the finish.

  Average, and tasting like it may be well past it's prime.

  Bright yellow in color, subtle nose. The fruit is pronounced, but unfortunately so is the acidity giving this wine a harsh swallow.
