  Apple, pear and crushed orchard fruit, vanilla and dark honey on the nose. Slight buttery note with rich mouthfeel of yellow fruits, yet balancing acidity, slightly reductive, almond and a burnt brioche note.
  
  This paired really well with a pumpkin soup.

  7/25/2023 - daghaug Likes this wine:

  Lukter av smør og vanilje, litt brent tre og snev av honningmelon. Frisk i munnen, med deilig syre samtidig som den har klassisk amerikansk fedme - alt i alt balanserer den elegant. Snerper litt i finish. Ikke superkraftig, funker fint som kontemplasjonsvin. Føles ikke ung nå, men tåler noen år til.

  Luscious, aggressively oaked-too much so but luxurious and wnjoyable despite the excess. Delicious with a winter potato soup

  Best on day 3 and 4, when the oak became a little bit less obtrusive. Initially, oak was too much for me. Noticeable reduction. Ridge Chards are just not for me, due to the prounounced oak. If I had more bottles, I would revisit in 2 more yrs.

  PnP. Fairly good and comparable to the previous time that I gave a longer oxygen exposure.
