Bright gold in colour with a medium+ intense nose.
Positives: A really nice, smooth and creamy Chard featuring medium toasted oak, buttery, spiced apple, mango, pineapple, lemon zest, persimmon, creme brulée, lemon meringue pie, coconut, vanilla and cashews. Full body with good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: You do get some heat from the 14.5% alcohol.
Interesting Point: LCBO has this at $3 off regular price until it's sold off. Good time to buy now.
Drink now or over the next 2-3 years on its own or pair it with, what else?; Lobster and drawn butter. Utterly hedonistic.
Tasted: 22 Sept 12
Score: 9+, Value: 9/10, Total: 18+/20
Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 4.5
