Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 4, 2008 - '61 La Chapelle (The Square): This gave rise to an intense debate between those who insisted it was slightly corked, and those who could find no flaw. Eventually the Cork Party was out-voted and conceded that the unusual and transient qualities of the wine might have caused some temporary vineous terminological imprecision. As Charles pondered to me, “I wonder why it is that more women don’t come to these things?”
I think this will be up there with the ’78 and the ’61 when it reaches the same stage in its evolution. Right now, while it is perfectly delicious, it is very tight, in spite of a long decant. Powerful, brooding, intense and muscular.
