Smoky Syrah with fine tannins and restrained fruit. Very refined but very young. Long finish. — 7 years ago
18-. 1999. Still youthful, lovely Pinot nose, great mouthfeel and depth, balanced, long. But the previous bottle of the same wine, last night , was corked. And so it goes... — 8 years ago

Nice peppery kick without any jammy sweetness. Great deal for the quality. — 9 years ago
Great summer red. Good balance and lower on the alchahol (12.5%). Great picnic wine. Pairs well with grilled foods (even grilled fish). — 10 years ago

Delicious 2014. Needed 1 hour to sing to us — 5 years ago
A nice Beaujolais from a vintage that I don’t usually love compared to 2014/2016. Definitely better with an hour or so in a decanter to let the tannins integrate a bit more. Dark purple in the glass - darker than expected. Nice cherry aromas. Still could resolve a bit more on the finish but with a slight chill is nice. — 6 years ago

Fresh grape, hay, anise, white flowers and a touch of peach, this is a very flowery nose, full of promise and intriguing. The palate is very dense: wide, long with a grip, a soft touch, a bit of a round thing in mid palate. Peach and and anise all along the acid backbone. A very long finish with a bit of peach and some freshness. In the end there is an everlasting layer of anise and hay. This is very good! — 5 years ago

Genial!!! Pamplemousse, agrumes a l'ouverture puis 2 heures plus tard petit fruit rouge, liqueur de fraise. Très peu de traces d'évolution. Grande longueur. Top! 👍 — 9 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. — 10 years ago
Extraordinarily delicious Côtes du Rhône. Elegant yet powerful. #2010 #rhone #cotesdurhone #frenchwine — 10 years ago
A delicious wine that should show even more in the next few years. With notes of kirsch and black currant, this soft, but complex wine is delicious. It has slight herbaceous undertones that round out the fruit forwardness. Probably one of the better Chat. Du Papes from this vintage. — 11 years ago

Plummy and almost a little smoky. Love the texture. It became a much softer wine after aerating, and on the second day had lost most of its bite. — 5 years ago
