Mar 14th, 2017Keeps opening revealing more notes. Definite tropical fruit notes, nice medium bodied chard. Subtler than many Napa chards. Good acidity. A very tasty white wine

Oct 22nd, 2016Bright yellow. Very closed in the nose, discrete white fruit and a hint of flowers. Very tight, high acidity, good fruit concentration and long finish. Built for the long haul, doesn't shine as yet, but everything is there.Patience required. I expect this to be really great with a few years of bottle age. 2014 vintage. Abv. 13,9%. 40 euro.
