Ka-razy great stuff. No way I would pick this as a chard. Bordeaux...maybe. Slight oxidation points it in the direction of desert wine but then the dryness sneaks up on you. Honeyed sugars linger at the finish. Beautifully complex. Glad I've got a few of these. 1995 and still going strong.

Acidity is almost a bit too much; still great interplay between acid, oak, and fruit.

WOW! Wonderful Chardonnay but be careful when corking as it is very fragile
