It's decent but doesn't blow my socks off. Definitely fruit forward, melon I think, which isn't my favorite, but it is better as it opens up and it doesn't hit you with a flat alcohol taste. More complex than a couple of chards I've had recently. Ok but I probably wouldn't seek it out and it probably costs more than I'd think worth spending (this was a gift).

Nice Chard. Little tang to it. Nice balance. The hint of butter is a little too much for my taste. Mellows out the warmer it gets.
