Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 91-93
Ruby-red. Port-like aromas of black cherry, roasted currant and smoky oak. Extraordinarily silky and seamless in the mouth, with uncanny texture and great suavity. Extremely long on the finish, with the tannins buried in fruit. A remarkably lush, accessible La Chapelle whose sheer density of material should enable it to develop in bottle for 15 to 20 years.

Tasted several times, last in Glasgow at the SuperBOWL in Oct-04. Very bretty, farmyard nose with notes of caramel, dark chocolate and a little sweet raspberry. Quite forward on the palate with moderate tannins. The palate is more diffuse and lacks grip on the finish. A good wine, but not a great one, and I would drink this over the next five years. Tasted October 2004.
