February 27, 2021 - A bit of petrol and oily texture on the open, but just marries so well witb the flavors. Citrus, but slight, bread yeast, slight hint of buttery roundness, fully integrated, acid in check but keeping this going. Color watery yellow. This is up there with some of the best chard I have had. Provenance is winery direct and 51 degrees. Wow. This has a decade or more left in it. I do like understated wines with subtle flavors. This has it.

January 9, 2021 - These went to storage and I was able to keep my hands off for many years. Now — it is tough — these are in a great place. Loads of citrus and enough body to stand up to the bracing acids. Great finish.
