Lemon on the nose, all lemon in the mouth, not enough else. Acidity. Longish. Very one-dimensional. Is this the same wine I had in the spring? Disappointing.

Lemon with some tropical notes. Not terribly precise and lacking a bit of elegance and mineral, but certainly trying for old world character with some likely old oak to round it out (given the vintage).

In general, a somewhat understated and burgundian character. On the nose, low-key fruit and minerality. On the palate, the same...with the addition of some a decent but not overwhelming acidity. Nicely balanced if a bit young. I would wait on this one for a couple years. I think additional time would help soften and integrate the palate. 88pts for now, but should improve significantly. Has all the right stuff.

Apple tart nose. Lemon in front, fading towards lemon cookie / minerality. Lots of acid like many 2011 PNW Chards. Very nice.
