From 750. Better. Savory with balance and quality. Restrained fruit but good presence. A touch of sour and old wood. Resolved tannin — 10 years ago

Black currant, graphite, red fruits with oak scents. Excellent color and balance; and exhibiting a youthful structure in terms of primary fruit flavors. Long finish. While drinkable, this needs more time. — 12 years ago

Very good wine. A lot of red fruit and meats in the wine. Amazing the balance that it has at a very young age. Licorice and twisters around the wine. Will keep this wine for at least another 10 years. — 11 years ago

A remarkable wine, a bit like many ‘45’s in its power and concentration. And while those who are after some more of the La Chapelle structure may be disappointed (and I have sympathy with aspects of the assessment), this is such an full expression of fruit and terroir, that I can really only cheer. Plums, orange zest, pepper and currants on the enticing nose. The palate is awash in luscious, sweet fruit, soy tinged, with melting tannins, round and soft, pure velvet past the mid palate, and it finishes with gusto, batons twirling, with layered exuberance and appealing length. — 10 years ago

The power of blending: grapes but different vintages too in Bordeaux! Juicy, good structure, freshness, chewy tannins, the future of Bordeaux? — 12 years ago
