Has that touch of a plastic smell and aromas to it. And a little touch of ripe pineapple as well. And on the palate with some weight, but very short finish. To me, right now, over at $65 or so.

A touch of plastic on the nose. Oddly enough, smells like its a little bit pre-moxed, or something. Crisp on the palate. Interesting but not really to my liking.

Retail $60. Big. Ass. Bottle. Honestly, I do not buy a lot of $60 Chard anymore. There was a time while I was leading bike tours in France, that I would buy some white Burgundies for quite a bit less than that, but those days are done. My desire to buy whit Burgundy for under fifty bucks are as dead as Mozart. On first sniff? Whoa. Lemon curd, white flower, a bit of hazelnut. Lovely, and a whoa. The palate is rich, big even, with ripe fruit, salinity, oak, and minerality. Yes, the cost of this is on par with many white Burgundies but no, this is not one of those. This is a rich, ebullient Chard that deserves attention on its own merits. Wonderful.

Well that is quite nutty on the nose. Kinda tired out actually in my opinion. Maybe its too cold or maybe the Corvin didn't hold it together.
