  • Sadly my last bottle of six. This was more vital and balanced than ever. Primary aromas/flavours of lemon, green and yellow applw, pineapple, supple oaky notes of vanilla and toast. A will balaced wine, with high alcohol balance by high acidity and a very high fruit concentration. Extraordinary long finish. On par with the best Burgundy Premier Crus and many Grand Crus.

  • Sadly this one didn’t make it … heavily oxidised and utterly undrinkable. A real shame - last of the case and most of the others were fine, with a couple of duds.

  • From glass. Remote but fine seeming nose of oily citrus, higher faint but finally sweet oak; suggesting lean but flavorfully oaked type of higher end chard. Palate then surprisingly broad and large, "citrus confit" notes consistent with nose. Full mouth of fresh acidity. Not the dainty, wispy chard I had expected after nose. Much more of a clean, white-grapefruity or cleanly astringent finish than any kind of oaky or tropical sweet one. Slightly warm, slightly going to head. Really liked this. Breadth of the acid may set it apart in a flight of other chards.

  • Waited too long. Golden yellow. Some fruit and stone on the nose, but it is dominated by nuts and other oxidation notes. Thick palate, lacking balance. Drinkable, but just barely.

  • Part 2 @ River Valley!: Brought this bottle tonight after trying the 2001 recently. Yellow fruits, pear, minerals, oak with some oxidation which I enjoyed a lot. Caramel notes but not as forthcoming as the 2001. I prefer this over the 2001. Nice!
