Beautifully smooth tannins and a mellow finish. Secondary characteristics beginning to show already but could use a few more years in the cellar. Worth every cent and more — 11 years ago

Quite possibly the best $18 bottle of wine ever. Balanced, complex. Great array of fruit, acid, body, and a minerally backbone. Had more than a few years left in it. — 11 years ago

This is a silkier, more elegant vintage of the Chapelle, at least relative to the 2010, which was really in my zone, as well as the 2009, which I found over-the-top, but in both cases I think there was more stuffing there than here. This would've shown better if I'd opened it with white meat or even fish or something else where a lightweight presence and loose-knit structure is called for. It's an excellent wine in that idiom but lacks some of the solidity and grip it has offered in other years. It's not imbalanced at all, and the trademark stony mineral flavors are still here, it's just a slimmer version of its usual self. — 11 years ago

Great chardonnay — 11 years ago

Caractère très fumé supérieur au terroir mais bon quand même — 12 years ago

Listening to Bach, designing the next version of this app. This wine is touching me in all the right places. — 14 years ago
