More gizzlespurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. My latest Pax order arrived & couldn't wait to try the Chard. I was impressed & reminded me some of the old Kistler Chards. It's a bit on the austere side but very structured & should age very well.

Different strokes and all that, but I had to read this twice as on initial reading I couldn't reconcile 'lean', which you used once, with what I think is it's opposite, 'rich', which you used four times.

Well... mostly by lean I meant high acidity. It had a high acidity but was really rich & structured. Lean was a poor choice of words.
