I would recommend to drink the wine as soon as possible. I think it is loosing from its body, floral notes and oak notes are only present at a hint. It gets a little bit better after a couple of hours contact to air. The taste is a little bit fuller than the nose. You can taste that the wine had a richness of flavors but is loosing them slowly.

Good nose of oak, vanilla some butter and hints of floral notes. Showing its age on the palate but still creamy with life left. Very enjoyable but I would drink sooner than later.

At the top of its game right now, four years from vintage. Really beautiful resolving oak notes. Cream soda, floral notes on the palate. Pollen-esque notes linger on a drawn out Med+ finish. Medium acid. Integrated, but not too mature. Fabulous. I'm jealous again.

DG always does well with their Chards and Pinots; this one was just another fine example!
