Good complexity after a few years. Opening up nicely. Lemon grass, pear, apple + nice minerality. A lovely finish. A touch buttery (but it’s a domestic chard). Overall, very enjoyable.

If this had a French label it would be 3-4x the price and get higher scores. This is a lovely white wine with more depth and complexity than expected. Age it a touch and don’t serve too cold. Lovely.

90 minute decant, from magnum. A classy claret in its drinking window. Enjoyable but not too complex.
