Tasty and lovely, if a bit past peak. Which was surprising. Just lacked the depth and intensity that this wine should have. — 10 years ago

Much better when colder than 55 Fahrenheit. Nice length and interesting spicy notes on the close. The oak is present but not overwhelming. — 11 years ago

A green mountain stream. Stoney and fresh, herbal. Lilting weight. Cool, as in the sensation, but also cooool. Delicious. — 10 years ago

9.2

Reticent on both nose and palate for 1st hour. Both unfurl with air. Meat, black fruit, floral on nose. Expands in glass. Palate fills out: nice whack of salty earth, iron, meat, black cherry. Buoyed by ripe tannins and sneaky acidity. No hurry here, but a very satisfying 2006. Re-buy, enthusiastically. — 11 years ago

9.0

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
