Truly outstanding. Everything a Chard should be. Took to dinner at a restaurant, so no detailed tasting notes to provide.

It is not a 91 point wine as the James Suckling sticker on the bottle suggests. I drank one glass and cooked with the rest of it. Didn't bother to take tasting notes as it left me uninspired to do so.

This bottle exhibited 4-ethylphenol brettanomyces and for me, this is a defect making the wine undrinkable. I left it sit for a day after opening hoping for the best, but as it goes with this compound, age didn't help. Unfortunately, it went down the drain. Therefore, I used the 'defective' score rather than a number score.
