An interesting bottle -- a good combination of acidity (sort of brightness) and fullness. Seemed a bit better than the bottle I had two years ago, although I gave them the same score. Whatever.

This is regularly on sale in Tesco, down from €20 to €10. At the latter it's decent, at the former it is shockingly bad value. It's good quality, per se, but unexciting and somewhat flat and uninteresting. Some typical Chard notes of peach and lychee and a lick of oak, but length is average.

Better integrated than a year ago, but the reductive stink takes a little time to blow off. Bright lemon colour with strong, and not altogether pleasant tinned tropical fruit - mangos and overripe bananas. The taste is more pleasant, with a good acidity at its heart and plenty of concentration.

A bit from memory -- drank last week. Good bottle. I did not find it as rich and buttery as some others did. which I would have liked. I have two more, and I am going to let them sit for a while.

Rich pineapple and tropical fruit, decent oak, slightly better integrated than previously.
