Deep gold in color. Honey, melon, pineapple and other tropical fruits. Oaky and shy on acid and minerals. Smooth mouth feel and long. Not overly heavy and good with rich fish.

These wines are so oxidized! I just have a hard time with them. Would not even know they are Chard. As it is, highly fruitful and lots of tension. What will this be like in 2025?

It took a little while to open up but ultimately had multilayered of honey suckle, camomile, and light oak. Wonderful! Wish I could get 2012
