This is Jurassic wine for the uninitiated, and it acquits itself well for what it is. Varietally correct, but deeper and richer and toastier (without turning toward either vanillins or unctuous cream). Modern, polished, rich, with good acid. But maybe overpriced at $24.

In April, I wrote "A nice Jura Chard with plenty of freshness, tension and minerals but, as before, there was a note, particularly on palate entry, reminiscent of coconut veering to caramel..." I was hoping that the coconut and caramel traces would fade with time but they are still there, but now more marked in the finish; it's the freshness and fruit which seems to be fading. Perhaps just a phase but I won't buy any more bottles.

Spezieller chardonnay. Steinobst. Kühl. Mittlerer Körper und Intensität. Abgang okay.

At last the coconut and caramel notes in this wine are better integrated with the lively fruit and minerals. Good.
