Two hour decant, probably didn’t need that much. Very smooth and calm at this age. Still excellent.

As we talked about our review we said "balanced" over and over again. The nose and the palette are a fantastic balance of red fruit, black fruit, minerals, tannins and body. Simply a pleasure to drink.

Decanted for 20 minutes then over the course of drinking....what a beauty. Very dark, lush and mysterious. At ten years of age I can only imagine how huge this was in its youth. Still has probably twenty years left in the tank. Pritchard Hill fruit remains prominant on the nose and palate with bitter coccoa and perhaps some graphite. Tannins are soft but still apparent. This baby should continue to soften and evolve into something more round and balanced over the next ten years or so. Hold.

Dark garnet/ruby with medium plus viscosity. Beautiful aromas of black fruits - blackberry, black cherry, black currant. Hints of chocolate and coffee. Nose confirmed on the palate, along with spring violet blossoms. Still a young wine at 10 years-old, but with nice tannins. Full body, medium-plus acidity, medium-plus alcohol. Long finish and well balanced. This is a very good wine that will age further. I paired this with a broiled veal chop, grilled vegetables, and roasted potatoes.

Medium purple in complexion, hints of spices particularly fennel and grains, wild cherry and raspberry. A terrific Zinfandel that has a delicate balance with medium low acidity. The palate is smooth with silky tannins. The finish is decadent. This wine pairs perfectly with barbecue.

Dark ruby in the glass. Nose is not terribly expressive, giving out some cherries and oak. Medium+ acidity, fruit-forward but balanced with bright cherries and black currants, with notes of coffee, plush and unobtrusive tannins, and a long ending with warm spice and oak.
Very approachable already, this is a well-made wine and classic Napa in style.

1969 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley more

5/1/2024 - Nanda wrote: 100 points

69/70/74 - a singular, perfect bottle of Napa Cab that is somehow still in a peak drinking window at age 55. Epic concentration and classic cabernet character that is still fruit-forward though laced with tobacco leaf, bell pepper and cedar spices. Long, intense finish. Wow.

69/70/74 flight. Gorgeous aromatics which are uniquely laced with an intense, intriguing black tea note. Tons of complexity and life here, if less concentrated than the epic 1969.

After decanting half the bottle for 90 mins this is in a really nice place. There's an obvious elegance on the nose that only comes with age.

As time passes this transitions from its Calicab pedigree being obvious to far more nuanced on the palate; It's there if you know it and are looking for it, but it's just as easy to confuse this for a Bordeaux, something I wouldn't have said an hour ago.

Black tea, cigar, leaf, and bar are all nicely intermingle with mature, dark fruit The chose a little bit of sweetness on the front to mid pallet finish.

As others note the finish was initially lacking, seemingly brief and light across the palate. As this passes the two hour mark its adding weight, even if I'd like a slightly longer finish.

As others also note, I too increasingly struggle with Chappellet's new price point, and will only purchase today when I find it under $70 at a supermarket discount. This was a steal @ 45 And I wish I had more. Certainly good for several more years if stored and handled properly.

To Tony (La Grange Park, IL): A fat better bottle of this than the one from a few years back. It's quite distinctive with its sappy, dark fruit. Whereas the 1969 and 1970 showed a mix of red and black, this showed far more black. Interestingly, there's an accent of American oak here -- whether this actually was done in American oak I've no clue. This was somewhat tight and ornery at the start, but a modest amount of air made this much more perfumed and floral. A modest touch of pyrazine here.

To Tony (La Grange Park, IL): A bit of a runt in the lineup of 1969 and 1974. But that's hardly saying anything. On the nose, a hint of Sharpie market and volatility, but it's never overwhelming or overbearing; it serves more as an accent. It's more pronounced with its wood shavings than the other wines and right from the get-go there is this maddeningly pretty herbal, perfumed nose. It's delicate without being dilute or weak. A stunning wine in its own right, but a step down from the magnificent 1969.

To Tony (La Grange Park, IL): Early Togni, of course. Absolutely stunning, from the beginning all the way to the end. The most Bordelais of the wines tonight after a few hours of air, but at the start this was opulent and so very much fruit-driven. Just an accent of balsamic, with a complex mix of red and black fruit here. Mature but still showing so much life here. It's sappy, concentrated, and layered. The fruit definitely leans towards the black side, and the herbal, leathery elements don't come out until much, much later. That this wine evolved so much over the course of the evening and has so much vivacity at this point in time and how well it evolved over the few hours is a true testament to the stellar quality here.

W a nice veggie/dish from cast iron - great pravda recipe. Great wine with life left. Great dark color, very calicab nose and on palate it had everything. Fruit, balance and length. Very California - maybe too much vanilla?

A great value pick. The fragrant nose features fruity-floral elements. The palate is bold with blue and black fruit. Cherry, strawberry, and chocolate notes add some complexity. Good freshness, unobtrusive tannins. Drink now.

Complex and alluring evoking aromas of plum, blackberry, menthol and forrest floor; which is followed by tobacco and a bit of vanilla towards the end. We are talking winemaking here. Medium to full bodied, vivid acidity and fine grained well integrated tannins. This is balanced to a tee. NI:4, FI:23, FC:8, B:5, L:4

Deep purple in color and very aromatic with blackberries, boysenberry black cherry and cinnamon on the nose. On the palate there are layers of black fruit- boysenberry, blackberry, spice, mineral, toasted oak and cigar box. Full bodied without being heavy or overextracted and it has a long finish. Drinking well but this certainly can age but I need to drink while my taste buds still work!
