Too much oak and not enough acid for me. Little too much flabby butter ball.

A buttery oaky chard with over ripe green apple notes but still going strong for an 09. Decent acidity and paired well with my halibut. The label was not in good condition, though.

A little heavy on the oak, but mellowed out a bit after it was opened.
