Got a chance to compare our 07 chard against Michele's after she put hers through MLF. Hers was definatly more balanced, although still high in acids (we forgot to measure PH). The group generally liked hers better so we'll look at putting ours through MLF.
To get hers through MLF early she added liquid ML Cultures after her first racking off the gross lees, kept the carboys in her bathroom with a 100 watt light bulb next to it to get the temp up. She also used an electric blanket.
We are also considering adding some oak dominoes to the Chard to help balance the acidity.
