This wine is perfect example of pushing for quick sales of early vintages, it is visibly young and although not complex and designed for aging at least 1 to 2 years in bottle would significantly help it. I would like to try to store it, but with my cellar full and comments from Lenka I have to carefully judge the purchases now and for less money I found much better chard. See this post from the very beginning of this blog :)
