AW's birthday dinner (Jade Palace): Served alongside the Bouchard CC, this came across "huge". Thought this was a New World Chard from a very ripe vintage. Oak was everywhere and very prominent. On the palate, this was oily, intense and had great depth and length. Only snag was that the oak was still poking through. A well-made wine. Will be great if the oak gets more integrated...

The golden color and aromas were really like an aged Burgundy, perhaps 80s? Big, oaky in style and a bruiser. Oily in texture. The acidity was still there though making it quite enjoyable though it might not be to everyone's taste. Very good and intersting for what it is.

Powdery sulphur, chicken stock on the nose. Rich lemons, roasted nuts, honey, caramel and pineapples.
