Vintage 2017 | Buttery with balance. Profits from a few years ripening. | Paired with Dorade / Sea Bram with vegetables from Hofstede De Blaak

A somewhat older chard. Serieus vanilla caramel coffee flavours. No fresh fruits. High in alcohol, bit peppery. Has not gone all butter/wax. Lots of finesses to enjoy. Even after a few minutes there are still some fragrances that twirl around in my mouth.

Stage 3 of #amgentoc heads along the Monterey Valley toward Laguna Secs. Beautiful day for a ride. A bit big and oaked for my taste but nice glossy finish.

Creme caramel nose, body full & rich with plenty of butter & oak. Initially seemed quite good but grew tired as complexity devolved to oak & butter
