This one needs some time. Can't figure out if it's time in the bottle or time with some air. Opened to a wonderful color and nose. All seemed in balance until the bright fruit gives way to a big tart strip that dominates the finish. All the components seem in balance but the tartness is overwhelming. Trying this wine at different temps and allowing it time to open. Please don't get me wrong, this wine has everything it needs to be a classic, very well made, Chard once the finish integrates into the whole experience. No score given.

Wow...what a surprise. Much different than the 09, which was not my style. This, on the other hand, is very "Puligny-esque". Light yellow color with nice citrus and mineral notes...great acidity and cut. Great fruit and mid-palate depth. Nice lingering finish...This would be a good 'ringer' wine in blind burg tasting..

Designer wine processed to a facsimile of burgundy. A few more scoups of acid and it would have made a fine Silex.
