Coconut right of the bat, dark golden color, fruit has faded, butterscotch, some fruit with air, caramel apple, maybe over the hill, but an interesting experiment.

Not as impressed as the group but not an unlikeable wine in most ways. Plenty of oak and butterscotch. Some acidity, which redeems. The tough angle for me was the heat. Beyond that, if all mass market Chards were made this way, we'd be better off.

Turning a deeper gold, full bodied, early notes of butter and coconut, followed by green apple, some nuttiness.

Cellar kept for about 3 years. Very buttery, suttle oak. Great finish. Will continue to age well but is perfectly ready now!
