Holding up well at this stage. Still has fairly vibrant acidity and mineral (more than I expected). Good fruit (moderate, blended citrus), some spice, moderate oak, all nicely integrated. Would gladly drink more if I had it.

Suprisingly strong oaky/buttery notes which is not exactly what I'd expected but actually worked with the lobster we had for dinner. I'm a little disappointed though, as the "cali-cab" charachteristics overwhelmed this wine and left it a little boring. I have some other P&H chards in the cellar and am hopeful this is not their typically profile.

Not as I expected from this wine. A little sharp on the tongue.

Very lemony on the nose. Soft entry of smoky lemon cream flavors that flow into a citrus & cream finish with a slight alcohol bite. OK.
