November 18th 2008 was my first post on CanadianWineGuy, Brett gave me some space to blog! Seven years later, it’s been a wild ride. I’m having a ball, learning lots, tasting lots and sharing with all of you. Looking forward to many more posts in the future. Thanks to Brett for giving me this space and thanks to all of you for stopping by and reading. And now … on with the wine!
Pale in color with a mild nose of apple/pear. On the mid palate the wine displays some nice rich bold chard notes including vanilla and some butterscotch along with some nice pear to match the nose. On the medium length finish the wine displays some nice lively acidity and a hint of pepper. A very nice complex chard. I would give it an 89+.
