My favorite wine! The best! #1 This wine has so many layers upon layers of goodness to unravel. It's everything you ever wanted and more especially if you are like me who started out thinking bigger is better. My first and early Cab > Zinfandel> Barolo>big Spanish exploration, which I only appreciated years after diving into Pinot Noir, helps me truly enjoy this wine. A big punch in the face of amazing rich aromas and layers of flavors that seem to keep changing with every sip (savor every drop) of this wine. But the key is the balance! This wine is made so well and is such a complete package. After drinking it the first time I remember saying to myself "this is why I drink wine". It was like I found the one I had been waiting for. I am now satisfied and complete. Keep all the #boregundy you want, give me La Chapelle! — 10 years ago
