Pure. Clean. Delicate. Fragile. Laser sharp. Not as much depth or length of finish as hoped but the up front focus was good stuff. Good bye malo oak and butter. Hello chard.

Dark gold color. Seemed over the hill to an extent. Thick texture full of lemons and vegetable elements. Flavor was reserved but started to open up.

A Matthiasson wine weekend!

Best bottle yet! Nice gold color. Meyer lemon, a hint of butter, and maybe a slight metallic element on the nose. Great balance of acidity and oak on the palate. Medium plus depth and medium finish. Amazing QPR.

Always lovely! More restrained and lemony than I remember. Might have a year or two left in it. Nice Meyer lemons and hints of butter. Great QPR.

Massive Meyer lemon on the nose and palate. Crisp with medium acidity and depth. Still had years left. Similar to the first bottle of this vintage that I had.

Medium gold color. As my 4yr old son said after a whiff - lemon pie, apples, lemon-lime. He honestly nailed it! Medium plus depth and medium finish. Great everyday Chard.
