  Wow. Terrific restaurant buy. Opened restrained on the nose but effusive on the palate and 30 min of air dramatically improved the nose.
  Nose of Floral, Pear, melon, lemon zest, buttered toast. Palate followed suit with a vibrancy and freshness. Great balance.
  Dry, medium to medium+ acidity, med alcohol, medium finish (bit of disappointing there).
  Drink now or cellar for a couple of years.

  I think 3 years of age is the sweet spot for this chard. Citrus and tropical fruit notes complement each other in a very nice way. Lemon, starfruit with vanilla, caramel and butter. Mouth is precise, fresh with more tropical fruit, banana, pineapple leading to a medium finish.

  Ideal pairing with pan seared walleye with meunière sauce at Hugo's Frogbar Naperville (Chicago). Pale straw colored, medium bodied, complex expressive rich sprites of minerality, acidity and hazelnut overshadow the subdued honeydew fruit notes.
